Designed for dependable, fast electrical connections, Gardner Bender 22-16 AWG Red Insulated Female Disconnect terminals deliver a secure crimp and color-coded clarity for your wiring projects—from automotive harnesses to electronics enclosures.
Key features that matter in the field
- Color-coded red insulation: specifically sized for 22-16 AWG insulated wire, helping you quickly identify correct terminals during busy builds.
- Insulated female disconnect design: provides safe, touch-safe connections that resist shorting and arcing in vibration-prone environments.
- 100 pieces per package in a durable clamshell: organized, ready-to-use quantity that minimizes downtime and simplifies stocking for technicians and hobbyists alike.
- UL Listed and CSA Listed: certified reliability and compliance for electrical installations in a wide range of applications.
Why this matters for your projects
For projects where time, accuracy, and safety are crucial, these terminals offer a repeatable, professional-grade connection. The red insulation isn’t just color—it's a practical cue that you’re working within the 22-16 AWG range, reducing the chance of mismatched connections. The insulated housing protects conductors during crimping and in service, helping to prevent shorts in tight or rugged assemblies.
Ideal use cases
- Automotive wiring harnesses, fuse boxes, and dashboard electrical systems
- Electronics enclosures, control panels, and small-appliance wiring
- DIY projects and service work where quick-disconnect terminals are preferred
What sets Gardner Bender apart
These terminals combine a reliable crimp method with a standardized, color-coded insulation system and proven regulatory endorsements. In practice, they translate to faster assemblies, fewer reworks, and consistent electrical performance across multiple projects—whether you’re a professional technician or a serious hobbyist.
Packaging and practical guidance
The 100-count clamshell provides ample quantity for ongoing work, with the container designed for easy storage and quick access in a busy workbench. To maximize reliability, use a proper crimping tool suitable for 22-16 AWG and ensure a clean, straight strip before crimping. Verify the terminal is fully seated and that the insulation encases the wire for a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
How to use (quick reference)
- Prepare the wire by stripping the insulation to the appropriate length for the terminal.
- Insert the bare conductor into the terminal’s crimp barrel.
- Crimp with a compatible tool until the terminal is firmly secured.
- Connect to the matching male/female quick-disconnect in your harness or panel.
