3M 7100164304 Female Disconnect 16-14 Awg Terminal

Product Description

The 3M 7100164304 is an insulated female disconnect terminal designed for fast, reliable wire termination in electrical and low-voltage wiring applications. Rated for 16-14 AWG wire, it accepts a standard male tab by allowing the tongue of the female part to slip over the tab, creating a secure mechanical connection. Dents and rolled edges on the female housing provide strong holding force while still permitting quick, tool-free disconnection when needed. Licensed electricians and electrical assemblers use these terminals where serviceable, tool-free connections are required on control wiring, panel wiring, and similar applications.

These female disconnect terminals are suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, control panel assembly, appliance wiring, and automotive or equipment harness applications. They are sold individually by unit but packaged in case quantities of 1000, making them practical for high-volume termination work or shop stocking. The 16-14 AWG wire range covers the most common control and branch-circuit wire gauges used across HVAC, electrical, and equipment service trades.

Key Features

• 16-14 AWG wire range covers common control and light branch-circuit conductors
• Female tongue slips over male tab for fast, tool-free connection and disconnection
• Dents and rolled edges on female housing deliver strong holding force without permanent lockout
• Sold per unit with case quantity of 1000 for high-volume stocking
• Compact, lightweight form factor at 0.01 pounds per terminal

Compatibility

Designed as a standard female quick-disconnect terminal compatible with male tab connectors in the matching tab width for 16-14 AWG insulated disconnect applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified electricians or electrical assemblers following applicable NEC guidelines for termination methods. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or removing any disconnect terminal. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool rated for the terminal series to ensure full crimp engagement and proper holding force. Do not solder over a crimped terminal, as this can cause stress cracking at the barrel and degrade long-term connection integrity.
