About Quick-Disconnect Terminals

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.
Solder-Loaded Heat-Shrink Ring Terminals

When heat is applied, the enclosed solder melts, creating the most secure and electrically conductive connection we offer. The plastic insulation also shrinks when heated, forming a seal to keep out water and contaminants. It covers the barrel to prevent short circuiting with nearby wire. Mount these terminals on a threaded screw or stud for a more secure connection than spade or hook terminals.
Use a crimper (not included) with crimp-on and solder terminals to secure wire before soldering.

When heat is applied, the enclosed solder melts, creating the most secure and electrically conductive connection we offer. The insulation also shrinks when heated, forming a seal to keep out water and contaminants. It covers the barrel to prevent short circuiting with nearby wire. Loosen your mounting screw to install—the open end eliminates the need to completely remove it. You can use a crimper (not included) to secure wire before soldering.
Locking terminals have spring-action forks that lock around the screw, holding the terminal in place before tightening.

Solder-Loaded Heat-Shrink Snap-Plug Terminals


When heated, the enclosed solder in these terminals melts forming the most secure and electrically conductive connection we offer. The plastic insulation also shrinks when heated, sealing out water and contaminants. Also known as bullet terminals, these terminals have a round tab that takes up less space than the flat tabs on most quick-disconnect terminals.
Female terminals have a fully insulated connection tab, so no metal is exposed when they are mated.

Solder-Loaded Heat-Shrink Crimp-On Butt Splices

The most secure, electrically conductive, and environmentally sealed connection we offer, these splices have enclosed solder and an adhesive-lined insulation that melt when heat is applied. The insulation shrinks and bonds to wire, protecting it from water and corrosion.

Solder-Loaded Heat-Shrink Reducing Crimp-On Butt Splices

Create a water- and corrosion-resistant seal while connecting two different sizes of wire. When these splices are heated, the solder inside melts and the adhesive liner shrinks and bonds to form the seal. Because of this seal, these splices are the most secure, electrically conductive splices we offer that connect two different sizes of wire. All have a stripe on the smaller end that’s a different color than the body, so you can easily match your wire to the right connector.

Solder-Loaded Heat-Shrink No-Crimp Butt Splices

With a ring of solder on the inside, these heat-shrink splices create secure, water-resistant connections between wires without the need for a crimping tool. Instead, heat the splice with a heat gun or butane torch to shrink the tubing, seal the connection, and liquefy the solder.
Because they use solder, these splices make more reliable connections than crimp-on splices. The melted solder fills the gaps between the wires' strands to make the electrical connection. Made of a tin-bismuth alloy, it's safe to use where lead is prohibited. It has a lower melting point than lead, so you're less likely to melt the heat-shrink tubing before melting the solder.
A layer of hot-melt adhesive lines the inside of the heat-shrink tubing to prevent the wires from pulling apart. The adhesive also seals the connection, blocking out water, dust, and other contaminants that can corrode the wire and cause a short.
To help with identification, each size has a different color. All are UL recognized for use with other components in an electrical system. When used with other UL recognized components, such as wires of the correct gauge, they can be part of a UL listed final product.

Solder-Loaded Noninsulated No-Crimp Butt Splices

Create a secure wire connection that stands up to both water and high temperatures without any crimping. These splices have enclosed solder that melts when heated, filling the gap between wire strands to bond the wires together and create a watertight seal. This connection is more reliable than a crimp-on connection. These splices don’t have plastic insulation, so they withstand ovens, motors, and other high-heat applications. Use a heat gun or butane torch to melt the solder.
