Panduit dnf18-205fib-m Female Disconnect 22-18 Awg 1000

Product Description

The PANDUIT dnf18-205fib-m is a fully insulated female disconnect terminal designed for reliable electrical connections in wire termination applications. The connector features an electro tin-plated brass barrel with a butted seam construction, surrounded by a red nylon housing that provides full insulation. The tab size measures 0.205 inches by 0.032 inches, accommodating wire ranges from 22 AWG minimum to 18 AWG maximum. The funnel entry barrel configuration guides wire insertion and reduces the risk of stray strands, making termination faster and more consistent for electrical installers working in volume.

This female disconnect terminal is suited for residential and commercial electrical wiring tasks where vibration resistance and secure conductor retention are required. The red color coding aligns with standard color-coded terminal identification for 22-18 AWG wire ranges. Typical applications include control panel wiring, appliance connections, and equipment harness assembly. Electricians and equipment technicians working with small-gauge wire will find the funnel entry design especially useful in high-volume or tight-clearance installations. Terminals are packaged in quantities of 1000, making this part practical for shop stock or job-lot use.

Key Features

• Funnel entry barrel for guided wire insertion and reduced misalignment during termination
• Electro tin-plated brass construction with butted seam barrel for secure crimp retention
• Red nylon fully insulated housing for both electrical isolation and AWG color-code identification
• Accepts 22 AWG to 18 AWG conductors (0.5 to 1.0 mm)
• Tab size 0.205 inches by 0.032 inches for standard disconnect receptacle engagement
• UL and CSA listed for use in code-compliant installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style fully insulated female disconnect terminal compatible with 0.205-inch male tab receptacles and suitable for use with 22-18 AWG copper conductors in low-voltage control and wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained technician. De-energize and lock out all circuits before terminating or inspecting connections. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for insulated terminals in the 22-18 AWG range to achieve a consistent, code-compliant crimp. Inspect each terminated connector for full insulation coverage and secure tab engagement before restoring power.
