Panduit Terminal Connector

Experience a dependable, vibration-resistant connection with the Panduit Terminal Connector. This female disconnect is crafted from brass and tin-plated for durability and corrosion resistance. The red vinyl barrel insulation provides visibility and added protection, making it ideal for automotive, industrial, and electronics harnesses where reliability matters. With a precise tab geometry and a compact footprint, it delivers a secure, efficient connection that performs under demanding conditions and harsh environments.

• Premium construction for enduring reliability: Built from brass with a tin-plated finish, this connector resists corrosion and wear while delivering consistent electrical performance. Designed as a vibration-resistant female disconnect, it stays securely engaged in applications subject to movement, chatter, or vibration. The red vinyl barrel insulation not only protects the conductive barrel but also enhances visibility during assembly and maintenance, reducing the risk of miswiring in complex harnesses.
• Precise electrical interface for secure contact: The tab size measures 0.187/0.205 x 0.02 inches (4.8/5.2 x 0.5 mm), enabling a snug, reliable mating with compatible blade terminals. This precise geometry minimizes contact resistance and ensures stable current flow throughout the life of the connection. It supports a wire range of 22-18 AWG (0.5-1.0 mm²), covering a broad spectrum of common wiring used in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics projects.
• Compact, space-saving footprint: With a length of 0.77 inches (19.6 mm) and a width of 0.25 inches (6.4 mm), the terminal fits neatly into tight harnesses and compact control panels. Its small form factor makes it easy to route wires in crowded assemblies, enabling cleaner layouts and more efficient harness management without sacrificing performance or reliability.
• Insulation and safety for peace of mind: The red vinyl barrel insulation provides a protective barrier around the conductive surfaces, helping prevent unwanted shorts and the chafing that can occur in vibratory environments. This insulation also aids in color-coding and quick identification within large connector networks, improving serviceability and reducing installation errors in busy electrical systems.
• Versatile applications and easy sourcing: Panduit terminals are widely used across automotive, industrial, and electronics harnesses where dependable connections are essential. The 22-18 AWG compatibility covers a broad range of common wire gauges, and the standardized design integrates smoothly with existing crimping tooling and harness systems, simplifying maintenance and ensuring consistent performance across assemblies.

How to install Panduit Terminal Connector

Install this terminal with a standard crimping tool designed for 0.187/0.205 inch blade-style terminals. Follow these practical steps to ensure a secure, vibration-resistant connection:

• Step 1: Prepare the wire by selecting 22-18 AWG conductors and trimming to the appropriate length for your crimping tool’s jaws.
• Step 2: Strip insulation to expose the conductor tip according to your tool’s specifications, ensuring enough bare wire for a solid crimp without excessive exposed metal.
• Step 3: Insert the stripped wire into the terminal’s barrel until the conductor seats fully against the crimp shoulder, verifying that there is no exposed copper beyond the insulation.
• Step 4: Use a compatible crimping tool to make a clean, full crimp around the terminal barrel. Ensure the crimp is tight and that the tab remains properly aligned with mating blades for reliable electrical contact.
• Step 5: Inspect the termination for a uniform crimp diameter and secure fit. Connect the terminal to its mating blade or harness housing, then perform a continuity test to verify a solid electrical path and check for any audible or visible looseness.
