Ideal 83-9481 Female Wire Disconnect 16-14 Awg 1/4 in

Product Description

The IDEAL 83-9481 is a female wire disconnect terminal designed for quick-connect and quick-disconnect wiring applications in electrical, HVAC, and control-circuit work. Compatible with 16-14 AWG wire, this silver-insulated terminal accepts a 1/4 inch tab width and provides a reliable, removable connection point without soldering. It is sold in packages of 25 and is suited for field wiring tasks where fast, repeatable terminations are required. The terminal carries UL and cUL listings and meets RoHS compliance standards, making it appropriate for use in both U.S. and Canadian installations.

This female disconnect terminal is used across residential and light commercial applications including HVAC control boards, thermostat wiring, motor lead connections, appliance wiring, and low-voltage panel work. Electricians and HVAC technicians typically use these terminals when connecting wire harnesses to spade-tab components such as relays, contactors, switches, and terminal blocks. The 16-14 AWG range covers the most common control and branch-circuit wire gauges encountered in these installations.
