Value Collection BOW-23852 Female Tab Terminal 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23852 is a female tab terminal designed for crimp-style electrical connections in low-voltage wiring applications. The terminal features a partially insulated heat shrink polyolefin sleeve that provides a secure, moisture-resistant seal after installation. Compatible with 16 to 14 AWG wire, it accepts a standard 1/4 inch tab width. This terminal is suited for automotive, HVAC control wiring, appliance repair, and general electrical work where a reliable, insulated crimp termination is required. Licensed electricians and experienced technicians performing field wiring or harness repairs are the typical installers.

This female tab terminal is appropriate for residential and light commercial electrical applications where 16 to 14 AWG wire is terminated to a 1/4 inch male tab connector. Common uses include HVAC control board wiring, appliance wiring harnesses, panel connections, and automotive electrical repairs. The heat shrink insulation sleeve makes it well suited for environments where vibration or moisture exposure is a concern.

Key Features

• Heat shrink polyolefin insulation provides a snug, moisture-resistant seal after termination
• Crimp connection type for fast, reliable field termination without soldering
• Compatible with 16 to 14 AWG wire for versatile low-voltage wiring use
• 1/4 inch tab width fits standard male tab connectors
• Partially insulated design allows visual inspection of the crimp joint
• RoHS compliant for use in environmentally regulated applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with 16 to 14 AWG wire and standard 1/4 inch male tab connectors in crimp-termination wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained technician. De-energize all circuits before handling or installing terminals. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for 16 to 14 AWG terminals to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical connection. After crimping, apply heat evenly to the insulation sleeve with a heat gun to activate the shrink seal — do not use an open flame.
