3M 7010349257 Male Wire Disconnect 22-18 Awg 100 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010349257 is a male quick-disconnect terminal designed for fast, reliable wire-to-terminal connections in electrical and low-voltage wiring applications. The connector accepts 22 to 18 AWG wire and features a 0.187 inch tab width, the standard size used across a wide range of residential and light commercial electrical assemblies. The vinyl insulation is partially applied and color-coded red, making polarity and gauge identification straightforward during installation. Each package contains 100 terminals, suited for production runs or service stock.

These male disconnect terminals are used in control wiring, panel assemblies, appliance repair, and HVAC low-voltage circuits where push-on connections are required. Electricians and HVAC technicians reach for this style of terminal when wiring thermostat connections, control boards, relay terminals, and similar low-current circuits. The red vinyl sleeve identifies the terminal as compatible with the 22-18 AWG wire range, keeping job-site organization clean when multiple wire gauges are present.

Key Features

• Male quick-disconnect terminal with 0.187 inch tab width
• Accepts 22-18 AWG wire for a range of light control and signal wiring applications
• Red vinyl partial insulation for easy gauge identification on the job
• Sold in a 100-unit pack, practical for service stock or production use

Compatibility

Designed for use with 22-18 AWG conductors and standard 0.187 inch female quick-disconnect receptacles commonly found in control boards, relay blocks, and appliance wiring harnesses.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with NEC requirements for the application. De-energize the circuit before terminating or removing any connectors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimping tool sized for insulated terminals in the 22-18 AWG range to achieve a secure crimp. Inspect the crimp and insulation sleeve after installation to confirm the conductor is fully seated and no bare wire is exposed beyond the sleeve.
