Metallics MQDC1614F – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Metallics MQDC1614F quick disconnect terminal accept?
The MQDC1614F is sized for #16 through #14 AWG stranded wire. Anything heavier than 14 AWG will not seat in the barrel, and 18 AWG and smaller won't crimp reliably in it, so step to the terminal rated for that gauge band instead.
2) Is the MQDC1614F a male or female quick disconnect, and what tab size does it mate with?
It's the female half of a 250 series quick disconnect, meaning it slides onto a 1/4 inch wide male tab or the matching male QDC terminal. If the component in your panel presents a flat blade and you need the wire end to push on, this is the correct half; if you need the blade itself, order the male 250 QDC.
3) Do I need a special crimper for the Metallics MQDC1614F terminal?
Use a crimp tool with the die for 16-14 AWG insulated terminals, the band most tools color code blue. Pliers or a general purpose cutter will deform the barrel and give you a connection that backs out under vibration. The terminal is supplied as the wire end only, so the mating male tab or component terminal is not included.
4) What is the Metallics part number for the #16-#14 female 250 quick disconnect?
Order it as MQDC1614F from Metallics. The number reads straight off the spec: 16-14 gauge, quick disconnect, female. Useful if you're standardizing a terminal kit and want the male counterpart and adjacent gauge bands from the same series.
