Leviton Telcom 16D33-TUY Female Detachable Plug

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 16D33-TUY is a female detachable plug connector designed for low-voltage telecommunications and data wiring terminations. It uses a 2-set-screw fastening method to secure conductors, providing a reliable mechanical and electrical connection without soldering. This type of connector is a standard hardware accessory found in structured wiring, telephone distribution, and low-voltage communication installations. Electricians and low-voltage technicians install this component during rough-in and trim-out phases of residential and light commercial wiring projects.

The 16D33-TUY is suited for telecommunications and low-voltage wiring applications where a detachable plug connection point is required. Typical install scenarios include telephone jack assemblies, modular wiring distribution systems, and similar structured cabling terminations in residential and light commercial buildings. It is sold as an individual unit and is intended for use by licensed low-voltage or electrical contractors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines. De-energize any connected circuits before terminating conductors at the set screws. Use an appropriately sized flathead or hex driver to seat the set screws firmly against the conductors without over-tightening, which can damage wire strands. Verify conductor seating visually before reassembling any enclosure or cover.
