Thomas Betts TV18-250PD-XV Wire Disconnect 22-16 Awg

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TV18-250PD-XV is a fully insulated, vinyl wire disconnect designed for quick-connect and quick-release wiring terminations in electrical and control wiring applications. The red vinyl insulation sleeve covers the full barrel, providing both visual wire-gauge identification and protection against accidental contact. Rated for 22-16 AWG conductors, this disconnect accepts a 1/4 inch tab width and meets RoHS and UL 94 V-0 flame-retardancy requirements. Electricians and panel wiring technicians use these terminals where fast, tool-free disconnection is required between components. Sold in packs of 75.

This disconnect terminal is suited for residential and light commercial wiring tasks including control panels, appliance wiring, HVAC low-voltage control circuits, and equipment harnesses. The 1/4 inch tab width is the industry-standard size for many spade-type receptacles found on switches, relays, solenoids, and terminal strips. Its 22-16 AWG range covers most small-gauge control and signal wiring commonly encountered in these applications.

Key Features

• Full vinyl insulation — covers entire barrel for contact protection and color-coded gauge identification
• Compatible wire range: 22-16 AWG
• 1/4 inch tab width fits standard spade receptacles on relays, switches, and terminal blocks
• Red insulation color indicates 22-16 AWG wire gauge range per industry convention
• RoHS compliant — meets restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical components
• UL 94 V-0 rated insulation material for flame retardancy

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-fitment fully insulated disconnect terminal for 22-16 AWG wiring applications using 1/4 inch tab receptacles. No specific OEM replacement data was provided with this product.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a ratcheting or manual wire terminal crimper sized for insulated disconnects in the 22-16 AWG range — do not use pliers as an alternative, since improper crimp force compromises both mechanical retention and conductivity. Strip conductors to the appropriate length per the terminal barrel depth before inserting the wire. De-energize all circuits before installing or removing disconnect terminals. Follow applicable NEC requirements for conductor sizing and termination methods in the circuit being serviced.
