Panduit DiscoGrip Terminal Connector

The Panduit DiscoGrip Terminal Connector is engineered to deliver unwavering reliability in vibration-prone environments, making it an ideal choice for automotive, industrial control, and rugged electrical installations. This vibration-resistant DiscoGrip male disconnect is crafted from brass and coated with a durable nickel plating to resist corrosion and wear over time. Encased in a blue premium nylon oversized housing, it provides outstanding insulation, enhanced handling comfort, and high visibility for quick identification in complex harnesses. With a 0.250 x 0.032" (6.3 x 0.8 mm) tab, and a wire range of 16-14 AWG (1.5-2.5 mm²), this connector balances compact form with robust performance. At 0.92" (23.4 mm) in length and 0.46" (11.7 mm) in width, it fits neatly into tight wiring bundles while maintaining dependable electrical contact. The DiscoGrip design ensures reliable crimp retention and consistent electrical contact even under harsh conditions, helping you minimize downtime and maintenance while maximizing system uptime.

  • Vibration-resistant performance—specifically engineered to maintain a secure, repeatable connection in environments with continuous motion or shock, reducing the risk of intermittent connections and ensuring long-term reliability.
  • Durable brass, nickel-plated construction—provides excellent conductivity with superior corrosion resistance, enabling dependable operation in exposure to moisture, dust, and temperature cycling.
  • Blue nylon oversized insulation—a premium, easy-to-grip housing that adds insulation for safety and a bright color for quick identification, while protecting the crimped conductor from abrasion and environmental exposure.
  • Precise tab and wire compatibility—features a 0.250 x 0.032" (6.3 x 0.8 mm) tab that mates with corresponding female DiscoGrip contacts, designed to handle 16-14 AWG wires (1.5-2.5 mm²) for common automotive and electronics applications.
  • Compact, practical dimensions—the compact 0.92" (23.4 mm) length and 0.46" (11.7 mm) width allow easy routing in crowded harnesses and control panels without compromising contact quality.

How to install Panduit DiscoGrip Terminal Connector

  • Step 1: Prepare the conductor—Select wire size 16-14 AWG and carefully strip insulation to expose an appropriate conductor length for crimping, avoiding nicks or fraying. Aim for a clean, straight conductor to ensure a solid crimp.
  • Step 2: Seat the conductor in the contact—Insert the stripped wire into the DiscoGrip contact’s crimp barrel until the conductor is fully seated and visible up to the edge of the barrel. Ensure there are no stray strands protruding beyond the crimp area.
  • Step 3: Crimp with the correct tool—Use a crimping tool specifically rated for 16-14 AWG conductors and designed for brass/nickel-plated DiscoGrip terminals. Apply consistent, even pressure to secure the conductor firmly without crushing insulation or deforming the contact.
  • Step 4: Assemble into the blue housing—Slide the crimped contact into the blue nylon oversized housing until it seats fully. Verify that the contact is locked in place and the housing encloses the crimp area to protect against environmental exposure and accidental shorting.
  • Step 5: Inspect and test—Visually inspect the finished assembly for proper seating, insulation coverage, and absence of exposed copper. Perform a gentle pull test to confirm a secure crimp, and verify compatibility with mating DiscoGrip connectors or housings in your system.
