Thomas & Betts 14RB-250T – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Thomas & Betts 14RB-250T male tab terminal crimp onto?
The 14RB-250T is sized for 16-14 AWG stranded or solid wire, which is what the blue insulation color codes for on vinyl-insulated terminals. It will also take insulation up to 0.2 inches in outside diameter, so heavier-jacketed 14 AWG machine tool wire still seats in the barrel.
2) Will this male tab mate with standard .250 quick-disconnect female receptacles?
Yes. It is a 250 Series male tab measuring .250 x .032, the common quarter-inch quick-disconnect blade, so it plugs into any standard .250 female disconnect. The stock thickness is 0.03 inches, matching the .032 tab callout.
3) What voltage and temperature can the 14RB-250T terminal be used at?
Rated 600V and 105 degrees C. That covers control panel wiring, appliance and motor connections, and HVAC equipment where terminals sit near warm components. The vinyl insulation carries a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, and the terminal is UL and CSA recognized.
4) Which crimp tool do I need for Thomas & Betts RB series 16-14 AWG terminals?
ERG4001 is the recommended tool. The terminal is also qualified for WT145C, WT2000, WT112M and ERG4003. Using a listed tool matters here: a generic crimper can under-form the brass barrel and leave a high-resistance joint on a 600V circuit.
5) How is the 14RB-250T packaged and is there a minimum order quantity?
Terminals are priced each but ordered in multiples of 100. Inner packs hold 100 pieces and the outer carton holds 500. An alternate bulk package, RB2517, is also cataloged for the same terminal. Figure roughly 0.31 lbs per 100 pieces when estimating a shipment.
6) How far does the tab stick out once crimped, for tight enclosure clearance?
The A dimension on the 14RB-250T is 0.95 inches. That is the figure to use when checking clearance behind a switch, contactor or appliance terminal block before you commit to a quick-disconnect instead of a ring terminal.
7) Should I use a male tab or a ring terminal for this connection?
Use the 14RB-250T male tab where the connection has to be broken for service, since a .250 quick-disconnect pulls apart without tools and reseats on the mating female. A ring or spade terminal under a screw is the better choice for a permanent joint or where vibration could work a push-on connector loose. Both this tab and its mating female must be sized to the same 16-14 AWG wire range for the crimp to hold.
8) Is this terminal suitable for a damp or corrosive environment?
The body is brass with an electro tin-plated finish, which resists corrosion better than bare brass and keeps contact resistance stable on repeated disconnects. The sleeve is insulated vinyl, not nylon, so it handles typical indoor equipment and panel environments rather than direct weather exposure. It is RoHS compliant.
