Thomas Betts TV14-250MD-XV Male Disconnect 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TV14-250MD-XV is a fully insulated male disconnect terminal designed for reliable, vibration-resistant wire termination in electrical and control wiring applications. The terminal accepts 16-14 AWG conductors and features a 0.25 inch tab width for standard quick-disconnect mating. The blue vinyl insulation provides full coverage of the crimp barrel, reducing the risk of accidental contact and helping technicians quickly identify wire gauge during installation and service. This terminal meets RoHS and UL 94 V-0 flame-resistance standards, making it suitable for use in panels, equipment harnesses, and other low-voltage wiring assemblies.

This disconnect terminal is used in residential and commercial electrical work, HVAC control wiring, panel builds, and equipment repair. It is appropriate wherever a serviceable push-on male disconnect connection is needed on 16 or 14 AWG wire. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel shop assemblers commonly install this terminal when building or servicing control circuits, motor leads, and low-voltage harness connections. The 0.25 inch tab mates with standard female quick-disconnect receptacles common across HVAC and light commercial equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or HVAC technician using an appropriate ratcheting or calibrated crimp tool sized for insulated vinyl terminals in the 16-14 AWG range. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or replacing disconnect terminals. Do not use pliers or non-calibrated tools as a substitute for a proper crimp tool, as under-crimped terminals can cause high-resistance connections or pull-out failures. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for terminal selection and wire preparation.
