About Quick-Disconnect Terminals
![](https://www.mcmaster.com/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/small/7060k88p2-d01bs.png?ver=1342003505)
Quick-disconnect terminals provide fast and secure connections for your wiring. Because they are easy to connect and disconnect, these terminals are convenient for applications that require frequent repair or replacement. When an application calls for a 1/4" quick-disconnect, choose a terminal with a 0.250" tab width.
Insulated Piggyback Heat-Shrink Quick-Disconnect Terminals

When heat is applied to these piggyback terminals, the insulation shrinks and creates a seal that keeps out water and contaminants and prevents short circuiting from nearby wire. These female terminals have a male tab piggybacked onto them, so you can connect two wires to a single terminal. They slide together and pull apart with ease, making them convenient for applications that require frequent connections. Use a crimper (not included) to install wire.
