3M 7000058873 Female Wire Disconnect 18-14 Awg 50 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7000058873 is a fully insulated female wire disconnect designed for fast, reliable IDC (insulation displacement connection) terminations in electrical wiring applications. The blue nylon insulation sleeve covers the full terminal body, protecting against accidental contact and short circuits. Rated for 18-14 AWG wire, this disconnect accepts a 1/4 inch tab width and is packaged in quantities of 50 per pack. It is a standard item for electricians and HVAC technicians who need quick, secure push-on connections in control circuits, appliance wiring, and equipment harnesses.

This female disconnect is suited for residential and light commercial wiring tasks where fast termination without soldering is required. Common applications include HVAC control wiring, motor leads, appliance assembly, and panel wiring. The IDC design allows the terminal to pierce the wire insulation on contact, eliminating the need for wire stripping in supported tool configurations. The blue color coding helps technicians identify the correct terminal for 18-14 AWG wire gauge ranges during assembly and service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trade technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or servicing any connections. Use the correct IDC crimping tool rated for this terminal style to ensure a reliable, gas-tight connection. Inspect the insulation sleeve after crimping to confirm full coverage and no deformation.
