Panduit dnf14-188-m Female Disconnect 16-14 Awg 1000 Pack

Product Description

The PANDUIT dnf14-188-m is a nylon-insulated, funnel entry female disconnect terminal designed for crimped wire terminations in electrical panels, control systems, and industrial wiring applications. The terminal body is constructed from electro tin-plated brass, providing solid conductivity and corrosion resistance. It accepts a wire range of 16 to 14 AWG and fits a standard 0.187 inch by 0.020 inch male tab. The blue nylon insulation housing includes an insulation grip sleeve for strain relief at the barrel. Licensed electricians and panel wiring technicians are the primary installers for this type of terminal.

This disconnect terminal is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring where push-on quick-connect terminations are required. The funnel entry barrel simplifies wire insertion during high-volume termination work, reducing mis-feeds on production lines or in the field. It ships in a standard package of 1000 terminals, making it appropriate for production wiring, panel shops, or service technicians stocking consumables. The blue color coding corresponds to the 16-14 AWG wire range, consistent with common industry color conventions for insulated terminals.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit female disconnect terminal for 0.187 inch tab male receptacles used in 16-14 AWG wiring applications across residential, commercial, and industrial electrical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified wiring technicians. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage with a meter before terminating or replacing any disconnect terminal. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool rated for insulated terminals in the 16-14 AWG range to ensure a secure crimp that meets NEC mechanical connection requirements. Do not over-crimp or use pliers as a substitute for a proper crimping tool, as this can damage the nylon insulation housing and compromise the connection.
