3M 7000132257 Insulated Female Disconnect 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The 3M 7000132257 is an insulated female disconnect terminal designed for secure, tool-free electrical connections in wire harness assemblies and panel wiring applications. Rated for 16-14 AWG wire, the MVU14-250DFK uses a butted seam barrel construction and connects by slipping the female tongue over a standard male tab. Dents and rolled edges on the female contact provide strong holding force while still allowing fast, clean disconnection when needed. Licensed electricians and wire harness assemblers are the typical installers for this type of terminal.

This insulated female disconnect is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring applications where quick-connect terminations are required. It is commonly used in control panels, appliance wiring, and electrical distribution assemblies where 16-14 AWG conductors must be terminated to male tab connectors. The insulated sleeve provides electrical isolation at the termination point, reducing the risk of incidental contact with adjacent conductors or enclosure surfaces.

Key Features

• Wire range: 16-14 AWG for compatibility with standard control and appliance wiring
• Butted seam barrel construction for consistent crimp performance across the wire range
• Dented and rolled-edge female contact delivers strong retention force with easy release
• Insulated sleeve provides electrical isolation at the termination point
• Tool-free mating — female tongue slides directly over standard male tab
• Sold individually; available in case quantities of 1000

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style insulated female disconnect terminal for use with standard male tab connectors in 16-14 AWG wire applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified wire harness technicians. De-energize all circuits before terminating or disconnecting any wiring. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool appropriate for insulated disconnect terminals in the 16-14 AWG range to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp. Verify that the mating male tab dimensions are compatible before final assembly.
