Abstract
An adapter configured for use between an alarm device and a wire harness. The adapter includes a housing having first and second sides, a circuit board positioned at least partially within the housing, and a first connection configuration associated with the first housing side that includes a plurality of conductive contacts electrically coupled to the circuit board and configured to engage a first device. The adapter also includes a second connection configuration associated with the second housing side and having a plurality of male connection pins electrically coupled to the circuit board and configured to engage a second device. The second connection configuration includes a different connection configuration than the first receiver thereby providing an adaptive connection function between the alarm device and the wire harness.
