3M 7010397408 Female Wire Disconnect 16-14 Awg 100 Pack

Product Description

The 3M 7010397408 is a female, partially insulated wire disconnect terminal designed for quick-connect and quick-disconnect wiring applications in electrical, HVAC, and control wiring installations. The nylon insulation is blue-coded for easy identification of 16-14 AWG wire gauge compatibility. The 1/4 inch tab width accepts standard female disconnect receptacles used throughout residential and light commercial control circuits. This terminal is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant and sold in a 100-piece package, making it a practical quantity for service vans, panel shops, and field technicians who use disconnects regularly.

This disconnect terminal is suited for splicing and terminating 16-14 AWG stranded or solid conductors in low-voltage control wiring, appliance wiring, HVAC equipment, and general electrical panel or junction box work. The blue nylon insulation provides partial strain relief and protects the connection point from incidental contact. These terminals are commonly used when a serviceable, tool-free disconnect point is required between a control board and a component such as a fan motor, contactor coil, or solenoid valve.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or HVAC technician in accordance with NEC guidelines. Always de-energize the circuit before terminating or disconnecting any wiring. Use a calibrated wire crimping tool sized for the 16-14 AWG range to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp on the barrel. Do not use pliers or uncalibrated tools as a substitute for a proper crimper, as an improper crimp can result in connection failure or overheating.
