Value Collection BOW-23850 Male Tab Terminal 12-10 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23850 is a fully insulated male tab terminal designed for crimp-style wire termination in electrical wiring applications. The terminal features a heat shrink polyolefin insulation sleeve that seals around the wire upon application of heat, providing a secure, moisture-resistant connection. It is compatible with 12 to 10 AWG wire and suits a wide range of low-voltage and line-voltage wiring tasks encountered in HVAC, electrical, and general trade work. Licensed electricians and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this type of terminal.

This male tab terminal is used wherever a reliable crimp connection is needed between a conductor and a mating female receptacle or connector block. Typical applications include control panel wiring, appliance harness repair, and field wiring of HVAC components such as contactors, relays, and terminal strips. The heat shrink sleeve makes it well suited for installations where the connection may be exposed to moisture or vibration. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 units per order.

Key Features

• Heat shrink polyolefin insulation sleeve provides a sealed, moisture-resistant crimp connection
• Compatible with 12 to 10 AWG wire for medium-duty electrical applications
• Fully insulated design covers the terminal barrel after crimping
• Crimp connection type for fast, tool-based termination without soldering
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use male tab crimp terminal compatible with standard 0.25-inch female tab receptacles used in residential and commercial electrical and HVAC wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified HVAC technicians following applicable NEC guidelines. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for insulated terminals and the appropriate AWG range to ensure a mechanically sound crimp. After crimping, apply heat evenly to the insulation sleeve with a heat gun until the sleeve shrinks and conforms fully around the wire jacket.
