Value Collection FDFNS1-250 Female Wire Disconnect

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FDFNS1-250 is a fully insulated female wire disconnect terminal designed for crimp-style electrical connections. It accepts 22 to 16 AWG wire (0.50 to 1.50 square millimeters) and features a 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) tab width for standard male spade terminal mating. The brass contact provides reliable conductivity, and the red nylon insulation sleeve fully covers the crimp barrel to protect against accidental contact and moisture ingress. These terminals are sized and color-coded to industry convention for 22-16 AWG wire ranges, making identification straightforward during wiring harness assembly or field repair work.

This disconnect terminal is used across residential and light commercial electrical, HVAC control wiring, and appliance repair applications wherever a removable, tool-free-disconnect connection is required at a 1/4 inch spade tab. Typical install scenarios include control board wiring, blower motor leads, low-voltage thermostat sub-bases, relay coil terminals, and general panel wiring where a secure but serviceable crimp connection is preferred over a permanent splice. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and appliance service technicians install these terminals using a ratcheting or standard crimp tool sized for insulated terminals.

Key Features

• Fully insulated nylon sleeve covers crimp barrel for protection against contact and moisture
• Brass contact material for consistent conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Accepts 22-16 AWG wire (0.50 to 1.50 sq mm) — standard range for low-voltage control and signal wiring
• 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) tab width mates with standard male spade disconnects
• Red color coding follows industry convention for the 22-16 AWG wire range
• RoHS compliant

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp-style female disconnect terminal for use with 1/4 inch male spade tabs in residential and light commercial electrical and HVAC control wiring applications accepting 22-16 AWG conductors.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a crimp tool rated for insulated terminals in the 22-16 AWG range — do not use pliers or an unrated tool, as an improper crimp can result in a high-resistance joint or pull-out failure. Strip wire to the length specified by the terminal manufacturer before inserting into the crimp barrel. Verify the mating male spade tab width is 1/4 inch before installation. Follow applicable NEC requirements for the circuit type and environment where these terminals are used.
