Gardner Bender color-coded vinyl-insulated female disconnect terminals quick-connect stranded wire to standard spade or blade terminals. The yellow vinyl barrel matches the industry color code for 12-10 AWG wire, so a glance at the part tells you the gauge it's sized for.

• Wire range: 12-10 AWG
• Color code: Yellow (industry standard for 12-10 AWG)
• Vinyl-insulated brass barrel with tin-plated finish for corrosion resistance
• Receives a male spade or blade terminal - quick-connect, no tools needed to mate
• Crimp-on installation with a standard insulated-terminal crimper
• Card pack for shop, garage, or service-truck stock

Tip: Strip about 1/4" of insulation, twist the strands tight, and seat the wire fully into the barrel so the insulation just touches the vinyl - a wire that bottoms short of the barrel will pull out under vibration. Crimp with the insulated-terminal jaw of a ratcheting crimper (not the bare-terminal jaw, which will cut the vinyl). Give the wire a firm tug after crimping to confirm the bite.

Use: 12-10 AWG automotive wiring, trailer harnesses, motor leads, high-current appliance wiring, control panel jumpers, and any spade-terminal connection that needs to be field-serviceable.
