Panduit EDV14-250P-Q StrongHold Insulated Vinyl Quick-Disconnect Terminal

Overview

The Panduit EDV14-250P-Q is a StrongHold™ vinyl-insulated quick-disconnect terminal designed for 16–14 AWG wire termination in commercial and industrial wiring assemblies. At 0.88 inches overall length and 0.29 inches (7.4 mm) wide, this loose-piece disconnect is built for high-density panel wiring and field termination work where reliable, repeatable connections are non-negotiable. The tinned (étamé) copper barrel resists corrosion in environments where moisture or contaminants are present — a practical consideration for control cabinets and enclosures in security, building automation, and industrial applications. EDV14-250P-Q (often searched as EDV14 250P Q) ships in a 25-piece package with a 250-piece carton quantity, making it straightforward to stock at the panel level without over-ordering.

Key Features

• 16–14 AWG Wire Range: Covers the most common control and signal wire gauges in access control panels, power distribution blocks, and alarm system terminations — one SKU handles the bulk of your termination needs without mixing disconnect families.
• 0.250 x 0.032 Tab Size: Matches standard 1/4-inch quick-disconnect receptacles used across the security and industrial connector ecosystem. Verify your mating receptacle accepts this tab dimension before ordering in volume.
• Tinned Copper Barrel (Étamé): Tin plating slows oxidation at the wire-to-barrel interface, preserving contact resistance over time — particularly relevant in humid or mildly corrosive enclosure environments.
• Vinyl Insulation Sleeve: The full vinyl barrel insulation reduces the risk of incidental shorts in tight panel wiring runs where bare terminals are a liability. Color-coding by insulation also aids visual inspection during commissioning.
• cULus Listed (E78522): Carries cULus recognition under file E78522, satisfying the listing requirements for most commercial and light industrial panel builds in the US and Canada without additional certification research.
• 25-Piece Package / 250-Piece Carton: The 25-piece pack keeps small-job material costs in check; the 250-piece carton suits recurring panel builds where restocking delays cost real labor time.
• StrongHold™ Sub-Brand: Panduit's StrongHold line is positioned for reliable mechanical retention — the crimp geometry is designed to maintain pull-out strength through vibration and thermal cycling typical of electrical enclosures.

Compatibility

Panduit specifies the EDV14-250P-Q for use with the following crimp tools: CT-100A, CT-260, CT-1550, CT-1551, CT-2300/ST, and CT-2500/L. Note that these tools are not sold by Panduit — source them separately. Using a non-specified crimp tool risks inconsistent barrel compression and can void cULus compliance on the finished termination. If you are already using one of these tools for other Panduit terminal work, the EDV14-250P-Q integrates directly into your existing workflow without a tooling change.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A: The EDV14-250P-Q is rated for 16–14 AWG wire. Do not use it with lighter gauges (18 AWG or smaller) or heavier gauges (12 AWG or larger) — improper wire-to-barrel fit compromises crimp integrity and cULus compliance.

Q: What tab size does the EDV14-250P-Q use?

A: The disconnect tab measures 0.250 inches wide by 0.032 inches thick — the standard 1/4-inch quick-disconnect dimension used across most commercial connector receptacles.

Q: Which crimp tools are specified for this terminal?

A: Panduit specifies the CT-100A, CT-260, CT-1550, CT-1551, CT-2300/ST, and CT-2500/L. These tools are not included and are not sold by Panduit — source them separately.

Q: Is the EDV14-250P-Q cULus listed?

A: Yes. The EDV14-250P-Q meets cULus standards under file number E78522, satisfying listing requirements for commercial and industrial panel builds in the US and Canada.

Q: How is the EDV14-250P-Q packaged?

A: It ships as a 25-piece package. The full carton quantity is 250 pieces, which is useful for estimating break-even on larger panel builds.

Q: What is the overall length of the EDV14-250P-Q?

A: Overall length is 0.88 inches; overall width is 0.29 inches (7.4 mm).

Marty Allison

The EDV14-250P-Q is a no-drama workhorse terminal for integrators who terminate a lot of 16–14 AWG wire in access control and alarm panels. The tinned barrel and vinyl insulation aren't marketing specs — in panel environments where thermal cycling and humidity are routine, those material choices directly extend the service life of your terminations. If you are running one of the six specified Panduit crimp tools already, this terminal drops straight into your workflow.

Technical Highlights:

• cULus E78522: Listed under file E78522 — gives you a clear paper trail for AHJ inspections without having to chase down certification documentation at closeout.
• 0.250 x 0.032 Tab: Standard 1/4-inch tab dimension matches the overwhelming majority of commercial disconnect receptacles; minimal compatibility risk in mixed-manufacturer panel builds.
• 25-piece / 250-piece packaging: The 25-piece pack is the right buy for a single panel run; move to the 250-piece carton when you are doing repeat builds to avoid mid-job restocking.

Deployment Considerations:

• Crimp tool compatibility is non-negotiable here — the EDV14-250P-Q is specified for six Panduit tools (CT-100A, CT-260, CT-1550, CT-1551, CT-2300/ST, CT-2500/L). Using an off-list tool risks inconsistent barrel compression and puts your cULus compliance at risk on the finished assembly.
• This is a loose-piece terminal, not a strip or reel format — factor handling and loading time into your labor estimate if you are crimping high volumes in a production setting.

This terminal earns its place in commercial security and building automation panel builds where cULus traceability, standard tab sizing, and a corrosion-resistant barrel are the baseline requirements — not optional extras.
