Panduit EDV14-250M-L StrongHold Vinyl-Insulated Male Disconnect Terminal

Overview

The Panduit EDV14-250M-L is a StrongHold™ series insulated vinyl male disconnect terminal designed for 16-14 AWG conductors. With a 0.250 x 0.032-inch tab and a tin-plated copper barrel, it delivers a reliable, corrosion-resistant mechanical connection in control panels, wire harnesses, and field-wiring terminations. At 0.96 inches overall length and 0.25 inches width, this terminal fits standard 0.250-inch female disconnect receptacles and integrates cleanly into panel layouts where space is at a premium. Available in packages of 50 and cartons of 500, the EDV14-250M-L (often searched as EDV14 250M L) suits both small-batch panel builds and high-volume production runs.

Key Features

• 16-14 AWG Wire Range: Covers the most common control-circuit conductor sizes used in access control panels, intrusion alarm wiring, and low-voltage power distribution — no need to stock multiple terminal sizes for typical security system wiring jobs.
• 0.250 x 0.032-Inch Tab Size: Matches the industry-standard 0.250-inch (6.35 mm) quick-disconnect tab, so the EDV14-250M-L mates directly with standard female disconnect receptacles without requiring adapters or special tooling.
• Tin-Plated (Estañado) Barrel Finish: Tin plating resists oxidation at the crimp interface, maintaining low-resistance contact over time — particularly important in environments with humidity cycling or where connections may sit unmated for extended periods before final commissioning.
• Vinyl Insulation Barrel: The full-length vinyl insulation sleeve provides electrical isolation at the conductor entry point and mechanical strain relief, reducing the risk of shorting adjacent terminals in dense terminal strips or marshalling panels.
• cULus Listed (E78522): Carries the cULus listing (file E78522), which satisfies NEC and CSA compliance requirements for listed wiring devices — a prerequisite for UL-508A panel certifications and most commercial building inspection sign-offs.
• Designed for KST2000C Crimper: Panduit specifies this terminal for use with the KST2000C hand tool, meaning crimp geometry is engineered to that tool's die profile. Using the matched tool produces a consistent, pull-tested crimp — skipping to a generic crimper introduces variability in contact resistance and pull-out force.
• Tin-Plated Copper Construction: Copper ensures excellent conductivity; tin plating adds surface protection. This combination is standard for commercial-grade disconnect terminals used in 600V-rated panel applications.
• Pack of 50 / Carton of 500: The 50-piece package suits small control panel jobs or service kits; the 500-piece carton makes sense for integrators running multiple installs or OEM production. No need to break a carton for a single panel build.

Integration & Compatibility

The EDV14-250M-L is a direct functional replacement for cross-referenced competitor terminals including the 83-9981, MTV14-250Q, QP14M25X03D, TI14250Q, TV14-250MD-XV, and TV14250Q. Any of these may be on your existing BOM — Panduit's cross-reference makes a drop-in substitution straightforward without re-testing crimp geometry, provided you use the KST2000C or equivalent cULus-listed crimper with matching dies. The 0.250-inch tab is the most widely used quick-disconnect size in North American control wiring, so female receptacles on relays, terminal blocks, and solenoid coils in access control, intrusion, fire alarm, and building automation panels will accept this terminal without modification.

The Panduit wire termination line includes a full range of disconnect terminals, ring terminals, and splice connectors that share the StrongHold™ crimp barrel design, so the EDV14-250M-L integrates naturally into a standardized termination kit across a panel build. For integrators managing wire termination supplies across multiple panel types, stocking Panduit's consistent crimp family simplifies tool inventory and inspection documentation. When specifying terminals for access control panel wiring, the cULus listing on the EDV14-250M-L supports the panel-level UL listing process without a separate terminal evaluation. Integrators building out low-voltage power distribution runs will find the 16-14 AWG range covers most 12V and 24V DC supply leads at typical security panel current levels. For complete cable management in marshalling panels, pair with Panduit's insulated ring and fork terminals for a consistent, inspectable wire-termination system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What wire gauge does the EDV14-250M-L accept?

A: The EDV14-250M-L is rated for 16-14 AWG conductors. It is not intended for 18 AWG or smaller, nor for 12 AWG and larger — stay within the specified range for a code-compliant crimp.

Q: What tab size does this terminal use?

A: The tab is 0.250 x 0.032 inches, which is the standard North American quick-disconnect tab size. It mates with any standard 0.250-inch female disconnect receptacle.

Q: What crimping tool does Panduit specify for the EDV14-250M-L?

A: Panduit specifies the KST2000C hand crimping tool for this terminal. Using the matched tool ensures the crimp die geometry is correct for a consistent, listed connection.

Q: Is the EDV14-250M-L cULus listed?

A: Yes. The EDV14-250M-L meets cULus standards under file E78522, supporting NEC compliance and UL-508A panel certification requirements.

Q: How many terminals come in a package, and is a larger quantity available?

A: The standard package contains 50 terminals. Carton quantity is 500 for higher-volume production or multi-job stocking.

Q: What are the cross-reference equivalents for this terminal?

A: Panduit cross-references the EDV14-250M-L against: 83-9981, MTV14-250Q, QP14M25X03D, TI14250Q, TV14-250MD-XV, and TV14250Q. Verify crimp tool compatibility before substituting on certified panels.
