Just crimp onto your wires and you're
ready to go. UL listed and CSA certified,
except where noted.
Noninsulated- For use where touchsafe connections aren't required. Rated to
300° F. Terminals are tin-plated brass,
unless noted. Voltage ratings don't apply to
these noninsulated terminals. InsulatedRated to 600 volts and 221° F (unless
noted). Terminals are color-coded by wire
size: 22-18 AWG are red, 16-14 AWG are
blue, 26-20 and 12-10 AWG are yellow.
Insulated barrel terminals offer everything
noninsulated terminals offer, plus they
provide electrical isolation and prevent wire
flexing at the crimp point. Female terminals
are tin-plated brass, male terminals are
zinc-plated copper. Fully insulated
terminals offer everything insulated barrel
terminals offer, plus insulation completely
covers the connection point. Female
terminals are tin-plated brass, male
terminals are tin-plated copper.
Standard Barrel- Require one crimp.
Insulated versions have vinyl insulation,
fully insulated have nylon insulation.
Double-Crimp Barrel- Two crimps provide
an extra-tight crimp for high-vibration
applications. Insulated versions have nylon
insulation.

Noninsulated terminals
Insulated terminals
These crimp-on terminals have a
space-saving round tab instead of the
flat one found on conventional quickdisconnects. Female terminals are
tin-plated brass while male terminals
are tin-plated copper, unless noted.
UL recognized, CSA certified.
Noninsulated- Great when
touch-safe connections aren't
required. Rated to 300° F. Voltage
ratings don't apply to these
noninsulated terminals.
Insulated- Provide electrical
isolation. They're color coded by wire
size: 22-18 AWG (red); 16-14 AWG
(blue). Rated to 600 volts (unless
noted) and 221° F. Nylon insulated
double crimp allow for two crimps on
the barrel for a more secure
connection. Great for high-vibration
applications.
Multipole connectors from
McMaster Carr
Attachable Plugs
Often used to turn an existing cable into a quick-disconnect cable, or to replace a
damaged connector on an existing cable. To assemble, just insert cable (.14" to .2" dia.
up to 20 AWG) into plug, attach wires to the solder terminals, and screw the plug
together. Made of nylon. Rated to 185° F.
Miniature pin and socket components
These small, lightweight connectors permit many poles (circuits) to be connected in a
small space. Simply install by crimping a pin or socket onto your wire and inserting it into
the plug or receptacle housing. A complete connector consists of a plug, a receptacle, and
enough pins and sockets for the number of poles you're connecting. Pins, sockets, plugs,
and receptacles are sold separately below.
Pins and sockets are tin-plated brass. Plugs and receptacles are white nylon and
are rated to 221° F. 250 volt connectors accept .093" dia. pins and sockets. 600 volt
connectors accept .084" dia. pins and sockets, lock together for a secure connection, and
can be panel mounted. UL recognized and CSA certified.
Crimping tools have a full ratchet cycle to ensure a simple yet proper termination.
Extraction tools release the locking mechanism on the pins and sockets, and let you back
the pins and sockets out of the housing.
Single power connectors
Modular Connectors
Use these modular components to create
your own custom single- or multipole
connectors. Just crimp a contact onto your
wire, then insert into a housing to create a
genderless connector. Mate with another
connector to provide reliable, high circuit
integrity that withstands vibration and has low
contact resistance. Connectors are easily mated
to form multipole connectors. All housings are
polycarbonate, and contacts are silver-plated
copper. An internal stainless steel spring
ensures that the contacts maintain constant
pressure.
Connectors accept wire sizes as shown
below. The given current rating is based on a
single-pole configuration when terminated to
the largest wire shown within each range.
Rated to 221° F. UL recognized and CSA
certified.
Complete connectors consist of one
housing with one contact.
To Order: For Complete Connectors and
Housings, please specify black, blue, green,
red, or white.

Wire terminal accessories
No need to strip or crimp, these ready-to-use assemblies make connections fast and easy.
They have tin-plated copper terminals, except female quick-disconnects which are tin-plated
brass. Wires are made of tinned copper wire strands insulated with PVC. Rated to 300 volts.
Flame retardant rating is VW-1. UL listed and CSA certified.
Quick-disconnect terminals are nylon insulated. Tab size is 0.250" Wd. x 0.032" Thick.
Ring and flanged spade terminals have vinyl-insulated barrels and accept #10 (.190")
stud size. Ring width is 0.32"; flanged spade width is 0.30".
22, 18, and 16 AWG wire sizes meet UL 1007 (80° C max.)/UL 1569 (105° C max.)
requirements. 14 AWG wire meets UL 1569 (105° C max.)/UL 1581 (80° C max.)
requirements.
To Order: Please specify overall length (6", 12", or 24"), wire gauge (22 AWG, 18 AWG,
16 AWG, or 14 AWG unless noted), and wire color (black, green, red, or white).
