Abb 18ra-250f Female Disconnect 22-18 Awg

Product Description

The ABB 18ra-250f is a vinyl-insulated female disconnect terminal designed for secure, low-resistance wire terminations in electrical wiring applications. The connector accepts 22-18 AWG wire and mates with a 0.250 x 0.032 inch male tab. The tin-plated copper barrel features a brazed seam and serrated interior that grips the conductor for maximum tensile strength. The red vinyl insulation sleeve identifies the 22-18 AWG wire range at a glance, making polarity and gauge identification fast during installation. Licensed electricians and panel wiring technicians use this terminal wherever a reliable quick-disconnect connection is required.

This female disconnect is suited for residential and light commercial wiring tasks where 0.250 inch tab connectors are specified. Typical applications include control panel wiring, appliance harness assembly, HVAC low-voltage wiring, and general electrical equipment hookups requiring a removable, insulated connection point. The compact form factor, at 0.96 inches in length and 0.29 inches in width, fits in tight wire runs and junction areas without bulk.

Key Features

• Brazed seam serrated barrel delivers maximum tensile strength on crimped conductors
• Accepts 22-18 AWG wire with a maximum insulation diameter of 0.150 inches
• 0.250 x 0.032 inch tab size for standard quick-disconnect mating
• Tin-plated copper construction for corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Red vinyl insulation sleeve for quick wire-range identification
• Compact body measuring 0.96 inches long by 0.29 inches wide

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation terminal for systems using standard 0.250 inch female quick-disconnect tabs with 22-18 AWG wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained technician in accordance with NEC guidelines. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or removing any disconnect terminal. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimping tool rated for insulated terminals in the 22-18 AWG range to ensure a full, gas-tight crimp. Do not solder over a crimped vinyl-insulated terminal, as heat can damage the insulation sleeve and compromise the connection.
