The T-tap design allows an electrician or installer to establish an electrical connection to an existing wire without cutting or stripping the wire. The connector mates with a 0.250 inch male tab for a reusable quick-connect termination. Maximum insulation outer diameter is 0.150 inches, and the connector is rated for operating temperatures up to 221 degrees F (105 degrees C). Suitable for low-voltage wiring work in residential and light commercial electrical, HVAC controls, and automotive-style harness applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis T-tap disconnect is used wherever a branch connection must be made to a live wire run without interrupting the existing conductor. Typical applications include adding a circuit branch to a control wire in an HVAC system, tapping into a low-voltage wire for an accessory circuit, or any scenario where mid-span splicing without wire prep is required. The mated male tab size is 0.250 inches, compatible with standard quick-connect male tabs such as the MNG10-250 DMI. The recommended application tool is the E-9BM Crimping Tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-stripping T-tap design — no wire cutting or stripping required at the tap point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts 22-18 AWG conductors for a wide range of light-gauge wiring applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMates with 0.250 inch male tab for a reusable quick-connect termination\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon insulation rated to 221 degrees F (105 degrees C) operating temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum insulation outer diameter of 0.150 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with E-9BM Crimping Tool for consistent, tooled terminations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to mate with 0.250 inch male tab connectors, including the MNG10-250 DMI.

De-energize the circuit before making any connections and verify the wire gauge falls within the 22-18 AWG range before applying the connector. Use the E-9BM Crimping Tool or an equivalent tool approved for self-stripping T-tap connectors to ensure a secure, gas-tight termination. Work performed on electrical systems must conform to applicable NEC requirements and any local code amendments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22-18 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTab Size (Mate)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Insulation Outer Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.150 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 221 degrees F (105 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Quick Slide Disconnect, T-Tap Self-Stripping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Crimping Tool\u003c\/strong\u003e: E-9BM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00054007123125\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7000058872\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"3M","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346116313394,"sku":"7000058872","price":34.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310535380.jpg?v=1782071204","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/3m-7000058872-female-t-tap-disconnect-22-18-awg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
