Product details

Crimp termination, non-insulated body

The 42400-2 is a female quick-disconnect receptacle in the TE Faston series, accepting 14-18 AWG wire and crimping onto the stripped conductor without an insulation barrel. Tab width is 0.250" (6.35mm) and tab thickness is 0.032" (0.81mm); the brass contact is tin-plated and rated for free-hanging inline use.

Same tab width, different overall length

Within the Faston 0.250" tab family, the 42400-2 (overall length 0.750") sits between the 41274 (0.755") and the 42741-2 (0.770") — all three share the same tab width, tab thickness, wire range, and tin-plated brass construction, so the length difference is the only dimensional variable for fit. The 42742-1 accepts a wider wire range (12-18 AWG) and supports a right-angle mounting option, which changes the crimp tooling and panel clearance compared to the 42400-2.

RoHS compliance on record

The 42400-2 is RoHS compliant per TE Connectivity's declaration; no additional compliance documentation (UL, IEC) is listed in the product record.

Frequently asked questions

Will 42400-2 drop into a panel that was specified around 42741-2 without rewiring?

The 42400-2 and 42741-2 share the same 0.250" tab width, 0.032" tab thickness, 14-18 AWG wire range, and tin-plated brass construction. The 42741-2 is 0.020" longer overall (0.770" vs 0.750"), so fit depends on the mating receptacle's clearance envelope.

What is the gender of the 42400-2?

The 42400-2 is a female (receptacle) quick-disconnect terminal.
