3M 7010349260 Female Wire Disconnect 16-14 Awg 100 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010349260 is a female wire disconnect terminal designed for fast, tool-free connections in low-voltage wiring applications. The partially insulated vinyl sleeve is color-coded blue, indicating compatibility with 16 to 14 AWG wire. The 1/4 inch tab width accepts standard quick-disconnect male tabs found throughout HVAC controls, appliance wiring, and electrical panel accessories. Each package contains 100 terminals, making it a practical stock item for service vans and shop benches. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel wiring contractors reach for these terminals when building or servicing control circuits that require a removable, insulated push-on connection.

These female disconnect terminals are suited for residential and light commercial wiring tasks where a secure, re-mateable connection is needed without soldering or wire nuts. Typical applications include HVAC control board wiring, thermostat wire terminations, appliance harness repairs, and low-voltage electrical panel hookups. The vinyl insulation provides basic protection against abrasion and incidental contact in enclosed wiring compartments. The 100-count package supports production wiring, service call restocking, and bench repair work.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a ratcheting or plier-style wire terminal crimping tool sized for 16 to 14 AWG terminals. Strip wire insulation to the manufacturer-recommended length before crimping to avoid cold joints or insulation pullback. De-energize the circuit completely before disconnecting or installing terminals on any live control board or wiring harness. Follow applicable NEC requirements for wire gauge, circuit ampacity, and terminal rating when selecting these connectors for a specific installation.
