Description
The Panduit Terminal Connector is built for reliability in demanding environments where vibration and movement can compromise a connection. This vibration-resistant female disconnect is crafted from brass and tin-plated for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring a durable electrical connection that lasts. Housed in a red nylon barrel-insulated enclosure, this terminal is clearly identifiable and designed to protect the crimp joint from moisture, dust, and strain. With a precise tab size of 0.110 x 0.032" (2.8 x 0.8 mm) and compatibility with a wide range of small-wire harnesses, it delivers a secure fit on standard male tabs while keeping wiring tidy and protected. At a compact 0.71" (18.0 mm) in length and 0.19" (4.8 mm) in width, it is ideal for automotive, industrial, and control panel applications where space is at a premium without sacrificing performance.
- Vibration-resistant performance: designed to resist loosening and ensure a stable electrical connection in engines, machinery, and rugged equipment where vibration is common.
- Brass construction with tin plating: delivers high conductivity and robust resistance to corrosion for long-term reliability in harsh environments.
- Red nylon housing for insulation and organization: provides a durable, flame-resistant barrier around the crimp barrel and a clear visual cue for correct assembly.
- Precise tab and broad wire compatibility: supports a standard tab size of 0.110 x 0.032" (2.8 x 0.8 mm) and is suitable for 22-18 AWG (0.5-1.0 mm²) conductors, making it versatile across small-wiring projects.
- Compact footprint for dense harnesses: at 0.71" long and 0.19" wide, it fits into tight electrical assemblies without compromising contact quality.

How to Install Panduit Terminal Connector
- Verify compatibility: ensure the terminal’s tab size matches the mating male tab (0.110 x 0.032" / 2.8 x 0.8 mm) and confirm your wire gauge falls within 22-18 AWG (0.5-1.0 mm²).
- Prepare the wire: strip the conductor insulation to the appropriate length according to your crimp tool’s recommendations, usually leaving enough exposed conductor to form a solid crimp without nicking copper.
- Crimp the conductor: use a crimp tool designed for this terminal to form a secure barrel around the stripped wire. Check that the copper strands are fully captured and that there’s no fraying or loose strands.
- Inspect the crimp: verify a tight, uniform crimp with no deformation or gaps. The insulation should butt against the nylon housing for proper strain relief.
- Insert into housing and mate: slide the crimped terminal into the red nylon housing until it clicks or seats fully, then connect to the corresponding male tab. Ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection and perform a basic continuity check to confirm proper operation.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the Panduit Terminal Connector designed for? It is a vibration-resistant female disconnect intended for use with standard male tabs, providing a secure, corrosion-resistant connection in harnesses for automotive, industrial, and control panel applications.
