Thomas Betts TV18-250FD-XV Female Wire Disconnect 75 Pack

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TV18-250FD-XV is a fully insulated female wire disconnect designed for fast, reliable termination of stranded or solid copper conductors in the 22-16 AWG range. The vinyl insulation is color-coded red, making polarity and circuit identification straightforward during installation and service. The 1/4 inch tab width accepts standard male quick-connect terminals found throughout HVAC control wiring, low-voltage circuits, appliance wiring, and general electrical panel work. RoHS compliance and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating confirm the insulation meets recognized safety and environmental standards. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and appliance service pros install these as standard push-on disconnects when a solder-free, tool-crimped connection is required.

This disconnect is suited for residential and light commercial wiring applications where a removable, insulated female quick-connect terminal is specified. Common install scenarios include control board wiring harnesses, fan motor lead connections, transformer secondary wiring, and appliance control circuits operating within the 22-16 AWG conductor range. The fully insulated vinyl body protects against accidental contact with adjacent conductors in tight junction boxes and control compartments. This package contains 75 terminals, making it practical for service truck stocking or bench termination work.

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4 inch male quick-connect tab terminals on conductors sized 22-16 AWG. No specific system or model compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified HVAC technicians following applicable NEC guidelines for wire terminations. Always de-energize the circuit and confirm zero voltage with a meter before disconnecting or installing terminals. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool matched to the 22-16 AWG insulated terminal range to ensure a gas-tight crimp — do not use pliers as a substitute. Inspect the vinyl insulation after crimping to confirm no cracking or splitting that could expose the conductor.
