Scotchlok MVI18-250DFX – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Scotchlok MVI18-250DFX female disconnect fit the 1/4 inch blade terminals on my HVAC blower motor or contactor?
Yes. The MVI18-250DFX is sized to mate with male tabs 0.250 inch wide, which is the standard quarter-inch blade used on contactors, relays, blower motors and most line-voltage controls. It is the female half of the pair, so it slides onto the tab rather than being screwed down.
2) What wire gauge does the Scotchlok MVI18-250DFX terminal crimp, and will 16 AWG work?
It is built for 22 through 18 AWG conductors. 16 AWG is outside that range, so use a 16-14 AWG disconnect instead. The barrel also limits you on insulation bulk: maximum insulation outer diameter is 0.145 inch, so heavily jacketed or double-insulated 18 AWG may not seat in the funnel sleeve.
3) Is this Scotchlok disconnect UL Listed and CSA Certified for a commercial panel inspection?
Yes, both. The terminal carries UL and CSA agency approvals, filed under UL E70512 and CSA LR22190, which is what an inspector or a spec writer will want on record for control panel and building wiring work. It is also RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption.
4) Can I use a vinyl insulated disconnect like this inside a luminaire or a hot attic run?
The vinyl insulation is rated -40 to 221 F (-40 to 105 C), which covers luminaire wiring, sign cans, attic and unconditioned spaces, and cold outdoor enclosures. For anything running above 105 C at the terminal, step up to a nylon or heat-shrink insulated disconnect.
5) Will a vinyl insulated crimp hold up to vibration, or does it back off the wire?
The barrel is an interlocking design with dents and rolled edges that bite the conductor for holding force, and the funnel-shaped PVC sleeve adds stress relief where the wire exits so flexing does not fatigue it right at the crimp. Brass body with tin plating handles the conductivity and corrosion side.
6) Do I need a male tab terminal to go with this female disconnect?
Only if the device you are wiring to does not already have a 1/4 inch blade on it. Contactors, switches, relays and most motors come with the male tab built in, so the female disconnect is all you add. If you are splicing two wires together as a disconnectable joint, you need a mating male disconnect in the same 22-18 AWG range with a 0.250 inch tab.
7) How much room do I need behind the device? What is the length of this disconnect?
Overall length is 0.83 inch, with a 0.25 inch pad width and 0.032 inch material thickness. That is a compact footprint for crowded junction boxes and control panel terminal blocks, but add the length of your crimped wire bend when you figure clearance.
8) How many terminals come in a pack of the Scotchlok MVI18-250DFX?
100 pieces per bottle. For MRO cribs and service vans the bottle keeps them from scattering loose in a bin, and it is a sensible stocking quantity if you are standardizing low-voltage and control connections on 22-18 AWG.
