22-18 AWG Pan-Term Male Disconnect Vinyl Barrel Insulated DV18-250MB-CY (Pack of 100)
[pdf] [/pdf]
About:
This product is a pack of 100 male disconnects, which are electrical connectors that can be quickly and easily connected or disconnected without the need for soldering. These particular disconnects are designed for use with wire gauges ranging from 22 to 18 AWG (American Wire Gauge), which is a standard range for various low to moderate power applications. The “vinyl barrel insulated” part indicates that these connectors have an insulation cover made of vinyl.
Also Known As:
• Spade Terminals
• Quick Disconnects
• Fast Disconnect Terminals
• Slide-on Connectors
• Crimp Terminals
Common Applications:
• Electrical wiring in automotive vehicles, such as connecting wiring to switches, relays, or other components
• Consumer electronics, for internal wiring connections
• Industrial machinery, for making connections in control panels
• Marine electronics, for creating detachable wire connections
• Wire harness manufacturing
• Power supplies and peripheral device connections
Standards:
• UL (Underwriters Laboratories) standards for safety
• CSA (Canadian Standards Association) certification
• RoHS compliance for the restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment
• Industry standards for color-coding according to wire gauge (red insulation typically for 22-18 AWG)
Construction:
• The disconnects are made with a metallic blade and crimp barrel that is likely tin-plated for corrosion resistance.
• Insulation is provided by a vinyl covering that envelops the crimp barrel and partially covers the blade, ensuring basic protection and electrical insulation.
• The blade end is designed to fit into female disconnects or other compatible connectors.
• The crimp end is where the stripped end of a wire is inserted and mechanically crimped to ensure a secure electrical connection.
Features:
• Designed for quick and reliable connections that are easily disconnected for service or repair.
• The insulation provides not only protection against electrical shorts but also helps to prevent accidental contact with live circuits.
• Vinyl insulation is durable and provides a degree of environmental protection.
• Color-coding (in this case, possibly indicated by “CY”) helps identify the size of the wire they are intended to be used with, ensuring proper fit and secure connection.
• Typically rated for certain voltages and currents, details of which should be provided in the product’s specifications.
