Value Collection MDFNYD1-250 Male Wire Disconnect 22-16 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MDFNYD1-250 is a fully insulated male wire disconnect designed for crimp-style terminations in low-voltage wiring applications. The connector features a nylon insulator in red, a brass contact with TiN plating, and a 1/4 inch tab width. It accepts 22 to 16 AWG wire, which corresponds to 0.5 to 1.5 sq mm conductor cross-section. These disconnects are used by electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel wiring professionals who need reliable, color-coded push-on terminations in tight spaces. Each package contains 100 pieces.

Male disconnect terminals in the 22-16 AWG range are a common staple in residential and light commercial wiring. Typical applications include HVAC control wiring, appliance harnesses, panel sub-assemblies, and general electrical service work where quick-disconnect connections are required. The red nylon insulation identifies the 22-16 AWG wire gauge range per standard color-coding conventions, making polarity and gauge identification faster during installation and service.

Key Features

• Fully insulated nylon housing in red for 22-16 AWG gauge identification
• Crimp connection type for secure, tooled termination
• Brass contact with TiN plating for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance
• 1/4 inch tab width fits standard male quick-disconnect receptacles
• Sold in a 100-piece package, minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch male quick-disconnect terminal compatible with 22-16 AWG wire in crimp-style applications across residential and light commercial electrical and HVAC wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a ratcheting or calibrated crimp tool rated for 22-16 AWG insulated terminals to achieve a proper mechanical and electrical crimp. Strip wire to the appropriate length before inserting into the barrel and always inspect the crimp for full conductor seating before applying the crimp. De-energize circuits before terminating or disturbing any wiring per NEC guidelines. Do not use pliers or non-calibrated tools in place of a proper crimp tool, as under-crimping can result in high-resistance connections or pull-out failures.
