Panduit dv18-250b-cy Female Disconnect 22-18 Awg 600V

Product Description

The PANDUIT dv18-250b-cy is a vinyl barrel-insulated female disconnect terminal designed for secure, vibration-resistant wire terminations in electrical wiring applications. The connector features a tin-plated brass body with a butted seam barrel construction and funnel entry design, supporting wire sizes from 22 AWG minimum to 18 AWG maximum. It carries a voltage rating of 600 volts and a temperature rating of 221 degrees F. The 0.25 inch by 0.032 inch tab size accepts standard quick-disconnect receptacles. Licensed electricians and panel technicians working on control wiring, HVAC low-voltage circuits, and equipment harnesses typically install this terminal.

This female disconnect is suited for residential and light commercial electrical applications where vibration resistance is a priority. Common install scenarios include motor control wiring, appliance harnesses, HVAC control boards, and panel sub-assemblies where a reliable push-on termination is required. The red vinyl insulation color-codes the terminal to the 22-18 AWG wire range, helping technicians maintain consistent wiring practices. The 9/32 inch wire strip length spec ensures a proper crimp engagement with the butted seam barrel. Connectors are packaged 100 per bottle for shop and job-site use.

Key Features

• Tin-plated brass base material for corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity
• Vinyl barrel insulation in red, color-coded for 22-18 AWG wire range
• Butted seam barrel with funnel entry for easier wire insertion during crimping
• Tab size 0.25 inches by 0.032 inches for standard quick-disconnect mating
• 600-volt rating suitable for typical low-voltage and control wiring circuits
• UL and CSA listed; RoHS compliant

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement female disconnect terminal for use with 22-18 AWG conductors and standard 0.25 inch quick-disconnect tab receptacles in residential and commercial electrical and HVAC control wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician following applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all circuits before terminating or replacing connectors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for insulated terminals in the 22-18 AWG range to ensure a full crimp engagement; do not use pliers as a substitute. Verify wire strip length of 9/32 inch before crimping to achieve proper barrel contact.
