Description
Engineered for reliability in harsh environments, the Panduit Terminal Connector Discon 16-14 AWG 0 187 205X0 02 Pk3000 is a vibration-resistant female disconnect designed to deliver stable electrical performance in automotive, industrial, and control-panel wiring. Crafted from high-conductivity brass and housed in blue, fully insulated nylon receptacle housings, this connector blends rugged durability with ease of installation. It stands out for its compact form factor, precise tab geometry, and color-coded insulation that help technicians assemble dense wiring harnesses quickly and accurately. Whether you’re replacing damaged terminals or building new harnesses, this Panduit terminal provides a dependable connection that stands up to heat cycling, moisture exposure, and mechanical stress. The 16-14 AWG wire range (1.5-2.5 mm²) and the 0.187/0.205 x 0.020" (4.8/5.2 x 0.5 mm) tab size ensure excellent electrical contact, minimal resistance, and long-term performance in a compact footprint. Premium materials for enduring reliability: This vibration-resistant female disconnect uses brass to optimize conductivity and wear resistance under constant vibration or movement, helping maintain a tight, fatigue-resistant connection in high-shock environments and across temperature fluctuations. Durable, color-coded insulation for safety and organization: The blue nylon receptacle housing provides robust environmental protection against moisture, dust, and contaminants, while the blue color coding aids in wire-and-terminal identification during installation and maintenance, speeding harness assembly and reducing the risk of mis-mating adjacent connections. Precise tab geometry for secure crimping: The terminal features a tab size of 0.187/0.205 x 0.020" (4.8/5.2 x 0.5 mm), designed to match standard female crimp interfaces, delivering a reliable mating surface and consistent contact pressure. Well-defined dimensions help ensure proper insertion and withdrawal forces, minimizing wear on contact surfaces and preserving electrical integrity over time. Wide compatibility with commonly used wire gauges: Designed for 16-14 AWG wires (1.5-2.5 mm²), the Panduit terminal supports typical power and control wiring in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications, allowing for harness redesigns, repairs, and new builds without additional adapters. Compact footprint for tight spaces: Measuring 0.78" (19.8 mm) in length and 0.31" (7.9 mm) in width, the connector fits in crowded wiring trays and control panels where space is at a premium. The combination of a small form factor and robust insulation makes it ideal for densely packed wiring environments, delivering reliable connections without sacrificing space. This terminal is designed for straightforward inventory management and quick identification in the field. The blue housing signals the correct mating type and helps technicians rapidly locate terminals in large harness assemblies, improving maintenance turnaround and reducing downtime. Whether you’re replacing terminals or building new harnesses, you can rely on this Panduit connector for dependable, vibration-tolerant performance that stands up to heat, moisture, and mechanical stress in challenging environments. OEMs, integrators, and maintenance teams will appreciate its consistency, long service life, and ready availability in 3000-piece packs.

How to Install Panduit Terminal Connector Discon 16-14 AWG
- Verify the wire gauge (16-14 AWG) and inspect the terminal for any damage prior to installation.
- Prepare the conductor by stripping insulation and ensuring clean, undamaged bare copper ready for crimping, following your crimp tool’s instructions.
- Insert the stripped wire fully into the terminal’s crimp barrel so the conductor seats against the backstop and is fully captured by the barrel.
- Crimp the terminal with the appropriate die for 16-14 AWG brass terminals, applying the recommended torque or squeeze force to achieve a secure, high-quality crimp.
- Inspect the crimp for a solid, uniform barrel fill with no loose strands, no visible nicking, and no insulation under the crimp. A proper crimp provides reliable electrical contact and long-term durability.
- Connect the terminal to its mating tab (0.187/0.205 x 0.020") in the harness, ensuring proper alignment and a complete, secure seating.
- Route and secure the terminal within its blue nylon housing or harness protection as needed to protect against moisture, dust, and vibration.
- Test electrical continuity and resistance under expected operating conditions to confirm a solid, vibration-tolerant connection.
