Metallics MWSC161410 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Metallics MWSC161410 spade terminal crimp onto?
The MWSC161410 is sized for #16 through #14 AWG stranded wire. If your conductor is #12 or larger, or #18 and smaller, this barrel won't give you a proper crimp and you need the matching size in the series instead.
2) Spade terminal or ring terminal for a #10 terminal screw?
A spade like the MWSC161410 is open ended, so you can slide it under a loosened #10 screw without pulling the screw out of the block. That is why electricians use them on crowded terminal strips and control panels for field changes. A ring terminal is captive and won't back off if the screw loosens, so pick a ring where vibration or a safety circuit is involved.
3) Do I need a special tool to install the Metallics MWSC161410 spade terminal?
Yes, it's a crimp terminal, not a set screw lug. You need a crimping tool rated for insulated terminals in the #16-14 AWG range; pliers will not produce a reliable mechanical or electrical connection. The terminal itself is sold as the connector only, no tool included.
