3M 7010397402 Female Wire Disconnect 22-18 Awg 100 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397402 is a female wire disconnect terminal designed for quick, tool-free electrical connections in low-voltage wiring applications. The partially insulated vinyl sleeve in red provides visual identification and a degree of finger protection at the connection point. Rated for 22-18 AWG wire and built to a 1/4 inch tab width, this disconnect is a standard choice for automotive, appliance, HVAC control wiring, and panel work where push-on spade connections are required. The package contains 100 pieces, making it practical for shop stock or field kit restocking.

This female disconnect terminal suits residential and light commercial electrical and HVAC control circuit work. Typical applications include connecting low-voltage control wires to terminal tabs on contactors, relays, fan motors, and control boards. The red color coding and 22-18 AWG rating make it easy to sort and match with the correct wire gauge on the bench or in the field. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and appliance service pros commonly keep these on hand for repair and new installation work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or HVAC technicians following applicable NEC guidelines. De-energize the circuit fully before terminating or removing any disconnect. Use a proper ratcheting wire terminal crimper sized for the 22-18 AWG range to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Do not rely on solder alone or over-crimp, as either can compromise the terminal integrity.
