Value Collection BD-C87673 Male Wire Disconnect 22-18 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-C87673 is a fully insulated male wire disconnect designed for quick-connect and quick-disconnect wiring applications in electrical, HVAC, and control-circuit work. The connector accepts 22-18 AWG wire and features a 0.25 inch tab width for standard push-on terminal compatibility. The nylon insulation is color-coded red, which corresponds to the 22-18 AWG range in industry convention, making polarity and gauge identification faster during installation or service. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel wiring specialists use this style of disconnect where a reliable, removable crimp connection is needed without soldering.

This male disconnect is suited for residential and light commercial wiring scenarios, including control board wiring, motor lead connections, thermostat sub-bases, and low-voltage circuit terminations. The fully insulated nylon sleeve provides protection against accidental contact with adjacent terminals and helps maintain connection integrity in panel and equipment enclosures. Sold in a quantity of 50 per package, this part is a practical bench or field stock item for technicians who routinely terminate 22-18 AWG conductors.

Key Features

• Package quantity of 50 supports bench stock and field service kits

Compatibility

Designed for use with 22-18 AWG conductors and standard 0.25 inch female quick-disconnect receptacles commonly found in HVAC control wiring, electrical panels, and light commercial equipment terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified HVAC technicians. De-energize the circuit before terminating or removing any disconnect. Use a calibrated wire stripper and a ratcheting or plier-type crimp tool rated for insulated terminals to ensure a gas-tight crimp on 22-18 AWG conductors. Verify the crimped connection is secure and the insulation sleeve is fully seated before re-energizing the circuit. Follow applicable NEC requirements for connector type and enclosure rating in the installation environment.
