Overview

The ABB RB250P Nylon Insulated Piggy Back Disconnect is a precision-engineered electrical termination solution designed for reliable, high-performance connections in industrial, commercial, and OEM applications. This compact, fully insulated disconnect features a durable nylon housing (UL 94 HB rated) with a maximum insulation temperature of 221°F (105°C) and supports wire sizes from #16 to #14 AWG. The copper conductor is tin-plated for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance in harsh environments. With dimensions of 0.87" (L) x 0.30" (W) x 0.43" (piggyback depth) and a maximum insulation diameter of 0.163", the RB250P fits seamlessly into tight spaces while providing a secure, tool-free connection to male tabs sized 0.250" x 0.032". The blue color coding enables quick visual identification, reducing installation errors. Rated for 600V per UL 310 and CSA standards, this disconnect is ideal for power distribution panels, control systems, HVAC equipment, and machinery wiring. Available in a cost-effective 1,000-pack quantity, the RB250P is part of ABB’s trusted Installation Products line, delivering consistent crimp performance and strain relief through its continuously molded design. Internal wire stops ensure proper insertion depth, while the funnel-entry barrel accommodates standard #16-#14 AWG wires with stripped lengths of 9/32" (7.1mm). For bulk applications, this product minimizes downtime and simplifies inventory management. Compatible with industry-standard crimping tools such as the Panduit CT-1525, CT-2300/ST, or CT-2500/L, the RB250P streamlines assembly processes with its tool-free insertion and removal from male tabs. The nylon insulation provides electrical short protection and retains shape under crimping pressure, ensuring a tight grip on wire insulation for maximum strain relief. Trust ABB for dependable electrical components that meet rigorous industry standards.
