3M 7010349261 Male Wire Disconnect 16-14 Awg 1/4 in Tab 100pk

Product Description

The 3M 7010349261 is a male wire disconnect terminal designed for quick, tool-free electrical connections in control wiring, appliance wiring, and HVAC equipment assemblies. The terminal accepts 16-14 AWG wire and features a 1/4 inch tab width for compatibility with standard female receptacles. The blue nylon insulation provides partial insulation coverage, making it straightforward to inspect the crimp joint after installation. These disconnects are sold in a package of 100, making them practical for stocking service vans and shop inventory. RoHS 2011/65/EU compliance is documented for projects with environmental material requirements.

These male disconnect terminals are used across residential and light commercial applications wherever a removable, push-on wiring connection is required. Common install scenarios include low-voltage control wiring in HVAC systems, motor terminal connections, appliance harnesses, and electrical panel accessories. The 16-14 AWG wire range covers the most common control and power wire gauges found in these applications. The blue color coding allows quick visual identification of wire gauge range on the bench or in the field.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician or qualified HVAC technician. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before terminating or disconnecting any wiring. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for insulated disconnects in the 16-14 AWG range to ensure a full, gas-tight crimp. NEC guidelines for wire termination and strain relief apply.
