3M 7010349256 Female Wire Disconnect 22-18 Awg 100 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010349256 is a female quick-disconnect terminal designed for reliable, low-resistance connections in electrical wiring applications. The connector features partial vinyl insulation in red, making polarity and circuit identification straightforward in multi-wire harnesses. Rated for 22-18 AWG wire, it accepts a 1/4 inch tab width, which is a common standard in residential and light commercial electrical assemblies. This package contains 100 terminals, suited for shop stock or job-lot use. The part is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant, meeting current restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical components. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel wiring professionals regularly use this style of disconnect in control circuits, appliance wiring, and low-voltage harness work.

This female disconnect terminal is used wherever a push-on, removable connection is needed on a male tab or spade terminal. Common applications include residential HVAC control boards, appliance wiring harnesses, automotive-style panel connections, and light commercial electrical enclosures. The 22-18 AWG range covers typical control wiring and small-load branch circuits. The red vinyl insulation helps technicians quickly sort connections by wire gauge range during installation and service calls. Sold in a 100-piece package, this terminal is appropriate for contractors and service shops that consume disconnects in volume.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified HVAC technicians. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before terminating or removing any disconnect. Use a calibrated wire crimping tool rated for the terminal type to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical connection -- never rely on solder alone with crimp-style disconnects. Refer to NEC guidelines for conductor sizing and insulation requirements applicable to the circuit being serviced.
