Panduit Pan-Term® DV18250 Series Female Disconnect Terminal, Brass
The Panduit Pan-Term® DV18250 Series is a family of loose piece disconnect terminals available in two configurations to match your wiring needs: a Female terminal in brass with a tin-plated finish, and a Male terminal in copper with a nickel-plated finish. This listing covers the Female, Brass, Tin-Plated version, insulated with a red vinyl barrel housing for a wire range of 22-18 AWG (0.5-1.0 mm²) conductors. Both terminal genders in the DV18250 Series share a 600V (0.6 kV) voltage rating and are UL 310 Listed and CSA Certified, making them suited to demanding industrial and commercial wire termination applications where secure, code-compliant connections are essential.

Panduit DV18-250B-CY – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a Panduit DV18-250B-CY disconnect fit a standard .250 quick-connect tab?
Yes. The Pan-Term DV18250 female disconnect is built for a 0.250 x 0.032 inch tab (6.3 x 0.8 mm), which is the standard 1/4 inch quick-connect blade used on switches, relays, contactors and motor terminals. If the blade on your device measures 0.187 or 0.110, this is the wrong size.
2) What wire size does the red Panduit DV18250 disconnect crimp onto?
22 to 18 AWG copper, which is 0.5 to 1.0 mm2 metric. The red vinyl barrel is the standard color code for that range, so a crimper's red die is the one to use. For 16-14 AWG you need a blue-coded terminal instead.
3) What is the difference between the two Pan-Term DV18250 disconnects, DV18-250B-CY and DV18-250MB-CY?
One is the female receptacle and one is the mating male tab. DV18-250B-CY is the female, brass with a tin plating. DV18-250MB-CY is the male, copper with nickel plating. Both take 22-18 AWG wire. Order the female for the wire that slips onto an existing device blade, the male when you are building the blade side of a wire-to-wire pair.
4) Can I use these disconnects in a 480V control panel?
Yes, the Pan-Term DV18250 disconnects are rated to 600V (0.6 kV), which covers 120V, 240V and 480V control and power wiring. They are UL 310 Listed and CSA Certified to C22.2 No. 153, with a UL94V-0 flammability rating on the insulation.
5) How much insulation do I strip back before crimping this Panduit disconnect?
Strip 9/32 inch (7.1 mm). The barrel is funnel entry with a butted seam, so the strands feed in without birdcaging, and the strip length is set so the conductor bottoms out in the barrel without copper showing past the insulation grip.
6) Will these terminals hold up in a hot motor enclosure or near an engine?
Rated to 105 C (221 F) continuous. The body is brass with tin plating and the description calls out vibration resistance, so it suits industrial equipment and panel wiring that sees heat and shake. Above 105 C you need a high-temp terminal with a different insulation.
7) Will the insulated barrel fit over the jacket of 18 AWG machine tool wire?
The vinyl insulation barrel has a 0.15 inch (3.8 mm) inside diameter, so it accepts jacket outside diameters up to that. Thick-wall 18 AWG wire such as some SIS or double-insulated types can exceed 0.15 inch, in which case the jacket will not seat into the insulation grip. Measure the wire OD if you are unsure.
8) Are these Panduit terminals RoHS compliant and ARRA compliant for a government job?
RoHS compliant and flagged ARRA compliant, with no mercury content and no California Proposition 65 cancer listing. Country of origin is Mexico. Note the lead content indicator is marked yes, which matters if your specification calls for a lead-free connector.
9) Should I use a barrel-insulated disconnect like this or a fully insulated one?
The Pan-Term DV18250 is barrel insulated, meaning the vinyl sleeve covers the crimp barrel but the mating end is exposed metal, which lets you see the connection and use a standard crimp die. A fully insulated disconnect, such as the ABB 250 Series fully insulated male disconnect in nylon, carries the insulation over the connector body as well, which is what you want where terminals sit close together on a crowded terminal strip or where accidental contact is a concern.
10) Will an ABB TNF14-250MD-XV work as a drop-in replacement for a Panduit DV18-250B-CY?
No. The ABB TNF14-250MD-XV is a male disconnect and the Panduit DV18-250B-CY is a female disconnect, so they mate with each other rather than replace one another. The insulation styles also differ: the Panduit uses a vinyl barrel-insulated sleeve rated UL94V-0, while the ABB is a fully insulated nylon body. If you are replacing a female terminal in an existing harness, stay with the female Panduit DV18-250B-CY.
11) For a high-vibration control panel, is the brass Panduit terminal or a nylon-insulated disconnect the better pick?
It depends on which half of the joint you are terminating and what the housing has to tolerate. The Panduit DV18-250B-CY female terminal uses a brass body with a tin-plated finish and a funnel entry barrel with a butted seam, rated to 600V and good to 105 C (221 F) - built for vibration-prone industrial terminations. The ABB TNF14-250MD-XV is a 250 Series male disconnect with a fully insulated nylon body, which encloses the crimp barrel and the blade shoulder rather than sleeving the barrel alone. Panels that need the insulation carried further up the terminal often specify the fully insulated nylon style.
12) How are Panduit DV18250 disconnects packaged and what is the smallest quantity I can buy?
They come loose piece in bottles of 100, with a standard carton of 500. Minimum order is 100 pieces, so this is a bulk consumable for panel shops and harness work rather than a two-piece repair pack.
