3M 7000057716 Female Disconnect Nylon 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7000057716 is a fully insulated nylon female disconnect terminal designed for fast, reliable electrical connections in wire harness and panel wiring applications. Rated for 16-14 AWG wire, the terminal accepts a standard male tab by slipping the female tongue over the tab blade. Dents and rolled edges on the female contact provide strong mechanical holding force while still allowing quick disconnection when needed. An insulation grip at the wire entry adds strain relief and helps maintain a secure termination. This type of terminal is a standard component in low-voltage wiring assemblies installed by electricians and control-panel technicians.

This fully insulated female disconnect is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring tasks where a secure yet serviceable push-on connection is required. Typical applications include control-panel wiring, appliance harnesses, HVAC low-voltage circuits, and general electrical service work. The nylon insulation sleeve covers the full terminal body, reducing the risk of accidental contact with adjacent conductors in tight wiring spaces.

Key Features

• Fully insulated nylon body reduces accidental short-circuit risk in congested wiring areas
• Accepts 16-14 AWG wire for compatibility with common control and appliance wiring gauges
• Dented and rolled-edge female contact delivers strong holding force with quick-release capability
• Insulation grip at wire entry provides strain relief and protects the termination point
• Push-on tab connection style requires no tools for mating or disconnecting

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style fully insulated female disconnect for use with 16-14 AWG wire and standard male tab terminals in residential and commercial electrical wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or qualified technicians. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage before terminating or disconnecting any wiring. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool sized for the terminal series to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical crimp. Follow applicable NEC requirements for wire gauge, insulation type, and connector ratings for the installation environment.
