Value Collection BOW-23850-1 Female Tab Terminal 12-10 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23850-1 is a fully insulated female tab terminal designed for crimp-style wire connections in electrical wiring assemblies. The terminal uses a heat shrink polyolefin sleeve that bonds to the wire insulation after installation, creating a secure, moisture-resistant seal at the termination point. Compatible with 12 to 10 AWG wire, this terminal suits heavier-gauge conductors commonly found in HVAC control wiring, appliance circuits, and automotive-style electrical harnesses. Licensed electricians and experienced technicians install these terminals using a dedicated crimp tool rated for insulated terminals of this style.

This female tab terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical applications where a reliable, insulated crimp connection is required at a quick-disconnect tab interface. The heat shrink insulation provides a cleaner termination compared to standard vinyl-insulated alternatives, making it a practical choice in environments where vibration or moisture exposure is a concern. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 units per order.

Key Features

• Heat shrink polyolefin insulation forms a tight seal around the wire after termination
• Fully insulated design reduces risk of accidental contact with adjacent conductors
• Crimp connection type for fast, consistent terminations without soldering
• Compatible with 12 to 10 AWG wire gauges for heavier-duty circuit wiring
• RoHS compliant construction restricts hazardous substances in line with current standards
• Female tab interface for use with standard quick-disconnect male tab receptacles

Compatibility

Designed for use with 12 to 10 AWG wire in crimp-style electrical termination applications requiring a fully insulated female tab connector.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained technician following applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or replacing any connectors. Use a ratcheting crimp tool rated for insulated terminals to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical crimp. After crimping, apply heat evenly to the shrink sleeve using a heat gun until the insulation fully contracts and bonds to the wire jacket.
