Scotchlok MVI14-250DFX – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Scotchlok MVI14-250DFX female disconnect crimp onto?
The MVI14-250DFX takes 16 to 14 AWG conductor. That is the blue color code band, so if you are crimping 22-18 AWG (red) or 12-10 AWG (yellow), this is the wrong barrel. There is also an insulation limit: the funnel sleeve accepts wire with a maximum insulation outer diameter of 0.145 inch, which matters on thick-jacketed fixture wire.
2) What voltage is this Scotchlok disconnect rated for in a lighting fixture?
It carries a 600V rating for building wire and 1000V for signs, fixtures and luminaires, so it is usable inside a sign or fixture canopy as well as in general branch wiring.
3) Is this terminal UL Listed and CSA certified for an inspected commercial job?
Yes, UL Listed and CSA Certified, and RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption. The agency file numbers are UL E70512 and CSA LR22190, which is what an inspector or a submittal package usually wants to see.
4) Can these disconnects be used in a hot attic or on rooftop HVAC equipment?
The vinyl-insulated MVI14-250DFX is rated from -40 to 221 degrees F (-40 to 105 degrees C), which covers attic plenum heat, rooftop units and cold-climate exterior work. For anything hotter at the terminal, such as direct contact with a heating element, you want a nylon or non-insulated terminal instead.
5) What is the terminal made of, and will it hold up in a damp or outdoor enclosure?
Brass barrel with tin plating, so you get good conductivity plus corrosion resistance in damp locations. The vinyl sleeve is abrasion resistant and flared at the entry, and the barrel is an interlocking butted-seam style that resists opening up under crimp pressure.
6) Will this female disconnect come loose off the tab from vibration?
The receptacle has dents and rolled edges that increase holding force on the male tab while still letting you pull it off by hand for service. That is the detail that keeps it seated on vibrating equipment like blower motors, without needing a locking tab.
7) Do I need a male and a female disconnect to make a serviceable splice?
Yes. The MVI14-250DFX is the female half only, so a disconnectable splice between two wires needs a matching 0.250 inch male disconnect crimped on the other conductor. If the other side is equipment with a factory 1/4 inch tab, the female alone finishes the connection.
8) How many terminals come in a bottle, and how are they packed for a service van?
They ship 100 per bottle. The bottle format is handy for a van or a bench bin since you can pour out a handful without a strip or tape to feed.
9) How long is the MVI14-250DFX terminal overall?
Overall length is 0.83 inch, which is worth knowing when you are stacking several disconnects in a tight junction box or fixture canopy and need to judge how much wire slack to leave.
