Ideal 83-8101 Disconnect Terminal 22-18 Awg

Product Description

The IDEAL 83-8101 is a receptacle-style disconnect terminal designed for electrical wiring connections in the 22 to 18 AWG wire range. This type of terminal accepts a matching male disconnect tab, allowing circuits to be joined and separated without cutting or splicing wire. Electricians and low-voltage technicians install these terminals in control wiring, appliance hookups, HVAC equipment connections, and other applications where a removable, insulated connection point is required. The 83-8101 is a compact, reliable component suited for both new installations and service work.

Receptacle disconnect terminals in the 22-18 AWG range are commonly used in residential and light commercial electrical work. Typical applications include HVAC control wiring, appliance wiring harnesses, motor connections, and panel sub-assembly work. The receptacle end slides onto a standard male quick-disconnect tab, providing a secure mechanical and electrical connection that can be disconnected by hand during service or replacement procedures.

Key Features

• Receptacle-style quick-disconnect terminal for tool-free separation
• Accepts 22 to 18 AWG wire gauge range
• Insulated construction for safe, code-compliant wiring in tight spaces
• Suitable for control wiring, appliance connections, and HVAC low-voltage circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement disconnect terminal for residential and light commercial electrical and HVAC control wiring applications using 22 to 18 AWG conductors.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified HVAC technicians. De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before terminating or removing any disconnect terminal. Use a properly sized wire stripper and a ratcheting terminal crimping tool rated for the AWG range to ensure a secure crimp. Follow NEC guidelines for connector selection and wire termination in the applicable wiring environment.
