Overview

The ABB RB2517M Vinyl Insulated Male Tab (#16-#14 AWG) is a precision-engineered electrical connector designed for reliable wire termination in industrial, commercial, and panel-building applications. This male tab features a 0.95-inch (24.1 mm) length with a 0.250 x 0.032-inch (6.3 x 0.8 mm) tab size, accommodating stranded or solid copper conductors within the specified wire range. The continuously molded vinyl insulation (UL 94V-0 rated) provides robust electrical protection up to 600V per UL 310, with a maximum insulation temperature of 221°F (105°C), ensuring compliance with safety standards in high-temperature environments. The expanded wire entry design simplifies insertion of wires with thicker insulation, while the internal wire stop guarantees proper conductor positioning for consistent crimping. The tin-plated copper construction enhances corrosion resistance and ensures long-term conductivity. Packaged on Mylar tape in a 1,000-piece bulk pack, the RB2517M is optimized for high-volume installations using compatible crimp tools such as the ABB CA9 (CD9-8B) or CA-800EZ (CD-800-8) applicators. The blue color coding aids in quick identification and inventory management. Ideal for panel builders, electricians, and contractors, this male tab delivers tool-free insertion and removal from pin-type terminal blocks, reducing installed labor costs without compromising connection integrity.
