Value Collection MDNYD2-187(5) Male Wire Disconnect

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MDNYD2-187(5) is a male wire disconnect terminal designed for fast, reliable electrical connections in control wiring, panel wiring, and general low-voltage applications. It features a double crimp connection style that secures both the wire conductor and insulation jacket, reducing pull-out risk and vibration-related loosening. The terminal accepts 16-14 AWG wire and connects to a 0.187 inch tab receiver. The partially insulated nylon sleeve is color-coded blue for quick AWG range identification at the panel or junction point. Brass contact material provides solid conductivity and corrosion resistance in typical indoor electrical environments. Licensed electricians, HVAC controls technicians, and panel builders are the primary installers of this type of terminal.

This disconnect is suited for residential and light commercial wiring applications where quick-disconnect terminal connections are required. Common uses include control panel builds, HVAC low-voltage wiring harnesses, appliance wiring, and general purpose electrical assemblies where 0.187 inch male blade terminals are specified. The 16-14 AWG wire range covers the most common sizes used in control circuit and general branch wiring applications. Compatible wire cross-section is 1.50 to 2.50 square millimeters.

Key Features

• Double crimp connection secures both conductor and insulation jacket for a reliable hold
• Brass contact material for solid conductivity and corrosion resistance
• 0.187 inch tab width fits standard 0.187 inch female disconnect receivers
• Blue nylon partial insulation provides AWG range identification and protects the crimp zone
• Accepts 16-14 AWG wire (1.50 to 2.50 square millimeters)
• UL Listed and cUL Listed; RoHS Compliant

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 0.187 inch female disconnect receptacles in 16-14 AWG control and general wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a ratcheting or calibrated crimp tool rated for insulated disconnect terminals in the 16-14 AWG range. De-energize the circuit before terminating or disconnecting any wiring. Follow NEC guidelines for conductor sizing, terminal ratings, and panel wiring practices. Do not use pliers or uncalibrated tools as substitutes for a proper crimp tool, as an improper crimp can cause high-resistance connections or terminal pull-out.
