3M 7100165293 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the 3M Scotchlok MVI14-250DFX female disconnect crimp onto?
The MVI14-250DFX is a 16 to 14 AWG terminal (1.5 to 2.5 mm2). The barrel inside diameter is 0.076 inch, and it takes wire insulation up to 0.145 inch outer diameter, so oversized THHN jackets on 14 AWG can be a tight fit into the funnel entry. Anything 12 AWG or larger needs a different terminal.
2) What temperature range can a vinyl insulated Scotchlok disconnect handle?
Rated from -40 to 221 degrees F (-40 to 105 degrees C). That covers unconditioned attics, rooftop units and outdoor control enclosures, but it rules out placing the terminal inside a furnace heat exchanger compartment or against a hot flue where temperatures run past 221 F.
3) Is the 3M MVI14-250DFX disconnect UL listed and RoHS compliant?
It carries UL file number E70512, and it is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption. Those are the two items institutional and government procurement usually want documented on a terminal before it goes into a submittal package.
4) How many 3M MVI14-250DFX disconnects come in a case?
Packaging is 100 terminals per bottle, 500 per case, so a case is five bottles. The bottle format is handy for a service van since it reseals and keeps loose terminals out of the bottom of a bag.
5) What is the 3M Scotchlok female disconnect made of, and will it hold up in a damp mechanical room?
The barrel is brass for conductivity with corrosion-resistant tin plating, sleeved in vinyl. Dents and rolled edges in the receptacle give the holding force on the tab. The tin plating handles typical mechanical room humidity, but vinyl insulation is not a sealed or adhesive-lined heat shrink terminal, so direct water immersion or a wet location calls for a sealed style instead.
6) How long is this quarter inch female disconnect terminal overall?
Overall length is 0.83 inch with a 0.25 inch pad width, which matters when you are landing several terminals side by side on a relay block or stacking them in a tight junction box. The interlocking barrel and funnel entry let you feed stranded wire in without birdcaging the strands.
7) Are these 3M Scotchlok terminals made in the USA?
Yes. Country of origin on the MVI14-250DFX is the United States, which is what public agency and federally funded jobs with domestic sourcing language need to see on the line item.
