Thomas Betts TV10-250MD-XV Male Disconnect 12-10 Awg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TV10-250MD-XV is a fully insulated male wire disconnect designed for quick-connect and quick-disconnect wiring applications. The terminal accepts 12-10 AWG wire and features a 1/4 inch tab width for standard receptacle compatibility. Yellow vinyl insulation provides both color-coded wire gauge identification and mechanical protection at the connection point. This disconnect is used in low-voltage control wiring, appliance wiring, automotive, and light industrial applications where a reliable, removable crimp connection is needed. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and equipment assembly techs install these terminals with a ratcheting crimp tool suited for insulated vinyl terminals.

This terminal is suited for branch wiring and control circuit connections where a male quick-disconnect interface is required. The fully insulated vinyl barrel covers the crimp barrel and a portion of the wire, reducing the risk of incidental contact with adjacent conductors or metal panels. The yellow color coding identifies the terminal as compatible with 12-10 AWG wire, following standard terminal color conventions. Typical use cases include appliance control boards, HVAC equipment wiring harnesses, motor control panels, and field-wiring repairs.

Key Features

• Fully insulated yellow vinyl construction for 12-10 AWG wire identification and mechanical protection
• 1/4 inch tab width mates with standard female quick-disconnect receptacles
• Male gender configuration for direct plug-in connections
• RoHS compliant materials
• UL 94 V-0 rated vinyl insulation for flame resistance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp terminal for use with 12-10 AWG copper conductors and standard 1/4 inch female quick-disconnect receptacles in low-voltage wiring assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a ratcheting or standard crimp tool rated for insulated vinyl disconnects in the 12-10 AWG range. De-energize all circuits before terminating or replacing any wiring connections. Strip wire to the appropriate length per the terminal manufacturer recommendation before crimping. Do not use pliers as a substitute for a proper crimping tool, as an improper crimp can result in high-resistance connections or terminal pull-out.
