3M 7010397406 Female Wire Disconnect 16-14 Awg 100 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397406 is a fully insulated female wire disconnect terminal designed for quick-connect and quick-release wiring connections in electrical and low-voltage control applications. The terminal features a blue nylon insulator that fully covers the crimp barrel, providing protection against accidental contact and short circuits. Compatible with 16-14 AWG wire, it accepts a 0.187 inch tab width, making it a standard 3/16 inch female disconnect. Licensed electricians, HVAC controls technicians, and panel wiring professionals use these terminals for reliable field terminations in control boards, relays, and harness assemblies.

These disconnect terminals are suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, HVAC control wiring, appliance repair, and panel assembly. The 0.187 inch tab size is a common industry standard found on relay terminals, solenoid coils, and control board spade connectors. Each package contains 100 terminals, making this unit appropriate for shop stock, service vans, or production wiring runs. A proper ratcheting crimp tool sized for insulated terminals is recommended for consistent crimp quality.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained technician. De-energize all circuits before terminating or disconnecting wiring. Use a ratcheting insulated-terminal crimp tool to ensure a full crimp cycle and consistent mechanical and electrical connection. Avoid using pliers or non-rated crimp tools, as improper crimps can lead to high-resistance connections or terminal pullout.
