3M 7010397404 Male Wire Disconnect 1/4 in 22-18 Awg Red 100pk

Product Description

The 3M 7010397404 is a male wire disconnect terminal designed for quick-connect electrical connections in low-voltage wiring applications. The terminal features partial nylon insulation in red, making it easy to identify by wire gauge range during installation. Rated for 22-18 AWG wire, it accepts a 1/4 inch tab width for standard disconnect receptacles. This package contains 100 terminals, suited for production wiring, panel assembly, and field service work. Electricians and HVAC technicians use these terminals when building or repairing control circuit harnesses that require reliable, removable connections.

These male disconnects are commonly installed in residential and light commercial control wiring, including HVAC control boards, appliance wiring, and low-voltage panel harnesses. The 1/4 inch tab width is a widely used standard in control circuit assemblies. The red partial nylon insulation identifies the terminal as compatible with 22-18 AWG wire, consistent with common wire gauge color-coding conventions in terminal systems. They are suitable for any application requiring a secure, removable male blade connection on stranded or solid copper conductors.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard male quick-disconnect terminal for use with 1/4 inch female disconnect receptacles on 22-18 AWG copper conductors in low-voltage control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified electrician or HVAC technician. De-energize all circuits before terminating or replacing connectors. Use a ratcheting or calibrated crimp tool rated for the terminal type to ensure a proper crimp; hand tools without proper dies may result in a failed connection. Follow NEC guidelines for conductor terminations in the applicable circuit.
