Fastin-Faston 0.250" male tab
The 160458-2 is a non-insulated male quick-disconnect tab in TE Connectivity's Fastin-Faston series, accepting 14-18 AWG wire with a 0.250" (6.35mm) tab width and 0.032" (0.81mm) tab thickness. Crimp termination, tin-plated phosphor bronze contact, free-hanging in-line mounting.
Series siblings at same tab size
Within the same 0.250" tab width and 14-18 AWG range, the 160458-2 (Bulk) and the 160457-2 (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape) share identical tab dimensions, contact material, and tin finish — the packaging difference drives the selection for automated vs hand assembly. The 160451-2 offers the same tab geometry and wire range with a slightly longer body (1.106" vs 1.102") — the 0.004" length difference does not affect crimp tool setup or mating half fit.
