Thomas Betts TV14-250FD-XV Female Wire Disconnect 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TV14-250FD-XV is a fully insulated female wire disconnect designed for quick-connect and quick-release electrical terminations in control wiring, appliance wiring, and light commercial or residential electrical work. The terminal accepts 16-14 AWG wire and features a 1/4 inch tab width for compatibility with standard male spade terminals. The vinyl insulation is rated UL 94 V-0 for flame resistance and is RoHS compliant. Blue color coding aligns with standard industry color identification for 16-14 AWG terminations. Licensed electricians and HVAC technicians use this type of disconnect when building or servicing low-voltage control circuits, appliance harnesses, and terminal block connections.

This female disconnect is suited for residential and light commercial electrical applications where solderless, insulated push-on terminations are required. Common install scenarios include HVAC control boards, appliance wiring harnesses, motor lead terminations, and panel wiring where a reliable removable connection is needed. The fully insulated vinyl sleeve covers the barrel and reduces the risk of incidental contact with adjacent conductors in tight terminal areas. Package quantity is 75 pieces per pack.

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4 inch male spade or tab terminals in solderless crimp-style wiring applications using 16-14 AWG conductors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained HVAC technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before crimping or inserting any terminal onto a live conductor or tab. Use a proper ratcheting or calibrated crimp tool sized for 16-14 AWG insulated terminals to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Do not over-crimp or use pliers in place of a dedicated crimp tool, as this can damage the vinyl insulation and compromise the connection.
