Value Collection BD-C97164 Male Wire Disconnect 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-C97164 is a fully insulated male wire disconnect designed for secure, vibration-resistant electrical terminations in a wide range of wiring applications. Rated for 16-14 AWG wire, this male quick-disconnect terminal accepts a standard female disconnect receptacle for reliable push-on connectivity. The blue insulation color serves as a visual gauge indicator, confirming correct wire size selection during assembly. These terminals are UL Listed and CSA Certified, meeting recognized safety standards for electrical wiring components. Each package contains 50 pieces, providing sufficient quantity for panel wiring, control circuit builds, and field service work.

Male wire disconnects in the 16-14 AWG range are commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC control wiring, appliance wiring, automotive electrical assemblies, and general panel fabrication. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and equipment assemblers install these terminals where a removable, tool-free connection is needed between conductors or between a conductor and a spade-style terminal on a component such as a relay, capacitor, or switch block.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard male quick-disconnect terminal compatible with 16-14 AWG conductors and suitable for use with any matching female disconnect receptacle in residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a ratcheting or plier-style wire terminal crimping tool rated for insulated disconnects. De-energize all circuits before installing or removing terminals. Do not use this terminal beyond its rated wire gauge range, as an improper crimp can result in a high-resistance connection or pull-out failure. Reference NEC Article 110 for general wiring termination requirements applicable to the installation environment.
