Value Collection BD--23320-1 Male Wire Disconnect 16-12 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD--23320-1 is a fully insulated male push-on wire disconnect terminal designed for fast, tool-free electrical connections in control wiring, panel wiring, and field service applications. The terminal accepts 16 to 12 AWG wire and features a 3/8 inch tab width for secure push-on mating with standard female receptacles. The yellow nylon insulation provides full coverage over the connection point, reducing the risk of accidental contact and identifying the terminal as compatible with the 16-12 AWG wire range by color code convention. This disconnect is sold in a package of 25 units, making it practical for service trucks, panel shops, and electrical supply staging.

These terminals are suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, HVAC control wiring, appliance repair, and equipment panel assembly. The push-on design speeds up installation and allows the connection to be separated without cutting the wire, which is useful in service and troubleshooting scenarios where components must be swapped out efficiently. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and appliance service professionals regularly stock this type of disconnect for general-purpose wiring tasks.
