3M 7100165292 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the 3M Scotchlok MVI18-250DFX female disconnect crimp onto?
The MVI18-250DFX takes 22 to 18 AWG stranded or solid conductor (0.34 to 1 mm2). The barrel inside diameter is 0.076 inch, and the vinyl sleeve will accept wire insulation up to 0.145 inch outside diameter. Anything heavier than 18 AWG needs a larger disconnect from the 16-14 or 12-10 range.
2) How hot can a vinyl insulated Scotchlok disconnect get before the insulation fails?
The rated range is -40 to 221 degrees F (-40 to 105 degrees C). That covers most HVAC cabinet, appliance and control panel work, but it rules out the terminal for high heat spots such as flue-adjacent or furnace burner wiring, where a nylon or high-temp sleeve is required instead.
3) Is the 3M MVI18-250DFX disconnect UL listed and RoHS compliant?
It is covered under 3M UL file number E70512 and is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption. That combination is what most institutional and government procurement specs are looking for on a crimp terminal.
4) Does this brass disconnect hold up in damp or corrosive locations?
The terminal body is brass for conductivity with corrosion-resistant tin plating, and the vinyl sleeve covers the barrel. That suits general indoor, panel and equipment work. It is not a sealed or heat-shrink adhesive-lined terminal, so direct outdoor exposure or wet wells call for an environmentally sealed disconnect instead.
5) Are 3M Scotchlok terminals made in the USA for buy-American procurement?
Country of origin on the MVI18-250DFX is the United States, which is what institutional and federal buyers need on the line item when domestic sourcing is written into the spec.
6) How many 3M MVI18-250DFX disconnects come in a case?
They are bottled 100 per bottle, with 500 units per case, so a case is five bottles. The bottle packaging is meant for bench and service-van use rather than a loose bag.
7) What is the overall length of the MVI18-250DFX female disconnect?
Overall length is 0.83 inch with a 0.25 inch pad width, so it stays compact enough for tight terminal blocks and crowded control cabinets where a longer terminal would bind against the panel door.
8) Is this a fully insulated female disconnect or the tab-only style?
It is a fully vinyl-insulated female quick-disconnect with a butted seam, interlocking barrel and a funnel-shaped PVC sleeve that guides the strands in during crimping. The dents and rolled edges in the receptacle give the holding force on the male tab, so it stays put under vibration.
