3M 7010290356 Female Wire Disconnect 22-18 Awg 100 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010290356 is a female wire disconnect terminal designed for quick-connect and quick-disconnect wiring applications in HVAC, electrical, and control system installations. This terminal accepts 22-18 AWG wire and features a 1/4 inch tab width for standard blade connector compatibility. The nylon insulation is partially applied and color-coded red to indicate the correct wire gauge range. Terminals like this are installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and control panel assemblers where tool-free field connections are required on low-voltage and line-voltage control circuits.

This female disconnect terminal is suited for residential and light commercial wiring tasks including thermostat wiring, motor control connections, appliance wiring harnesses, and HVAC control board field connections. The 1/4 inch tab size is one of the most common standards found on relay contacts, solenoid terminals, and OEM wiring harnesses across HVAC and electrical equipment. This product is sold in a package quantity of 100 terminals, making it appropriate for service stock, panel assembly, and bulk field use.

Installation Notes

Installation requires an appropriately sized ratcheting or crimping tool rated for insulated disconnect terminals in the 22-18 AWG range. De-energize the circuit before terminating or removing any wire disconnect. Do not solder over a crimped connection, as this can cause brittleness at the junction. Follow NEC guidelines for conductor sizing and termination methods applicable to the circuit being serviced.
