3M 7010397403 Male Wire Disconnect 22-18 Awg Red Nylon 100 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397403 is a fully insulated male wire disconnect terminal designed for quick-connect and disconnect wiring applications in electrical, HVAC, and control panel work. The terminal accepts 22 to 18 AWG wire and features a 0.187 inch tab width, the standard 3/16 inch male quick-disconnect tab size widely used across low-voltage control circuits and general wiring harnesses. The red nylon insulation sleeve provides full coverage over the crimp barrel, color-codes the terminal to the 22-18 AWG range, and offers reliable resistance to abrasion and moderate heat. Sold in a package of 100 terminals.

These disconnects are used in residential and light commercial wiring applications where push-on terminal connections are required. Common install scenarios include HVAC control board wiring, motor lead connections, appliance wiring, and panel sub-assemblies. The 0.187 inch male tab mates with standard female quick-disconnect receptacles of the same tab width. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel builders use these in production and field service environments where fast, reliable terminations are needed without soldering.

Key Features

• Fully insulated nylon sleeve covers the entire crimp barrel for electrical isolation
• 0.187 inch tab width matches the standard 3/16 inch quick-disconnect receptacle
• Red insulation color-codes to 22-18 AWG wire range for fast identification
• RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant for use in restricted-substance-regulated applications
• Package quantity of 100 supports both service calls and production work

Compatibility

Designed for use with 22 to 18 AWG wire and compatible with standard female quick-disconnect receptacles rated for a 0.187 inch tab width.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a ratcheting or standard insulated terminal crimping tool sized for 22-18 AWG non-insulated or insulated terminals, as appropriate for the tool. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or disconnecting any wiring. Verify wire strip length matches the barrel depth before crimping. Do not use pliers as a substitute for a proper crimping tool, as an improper crimp can cause high-resistance connections or terminal pullout.
