3M 7010349255 Female Wire Disconnect 22-18 Awg Red Vinyl

Product Description

The 3M 7010349255 is a female wire disconnect connector designed for quick-connect and quick-release terminations in low-voltage wiring applications. The connector accepts 22 to 18 AWG wire and features a 0.187 inch tab width, making it compatible with standard 3/16 inch male disconnect tabs common in HVAC controls, appliance wiring, and electrical panel work. The vinyl insulation is partially applied and color-coded red for easy identification during installation and service. Each unit is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant. This item is sold in a pack of 100 connectors.

These female disconnect connectors are used in residential and light commercial wiring where a reliable, removable termination is needed without soldering. Typical applications include HVAC control wiring, thermostat connections, relay and contactor terminals, appliance harnesses, and general electrical panel hookups. The red vinyl insulation is rated for the 22-18 AWG range, making these connectors suited for light control circuits and signal wiring rather than high-current power runs. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and appliance service pros use these as a standard consumable on service trucks and in panel shops.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a ratcheting or manual wire crimping tool rated for insulated disconnect terminals in the 22-18 AWG range. Strip wire insulation to the length specified by the connector barrel before crimping. Always de-energize the circuit before making or breaking disconnect terminations. Inspect the crimp for full barrel compression before applying pull force to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection.
