Overview

The ABB FG2040R2 E-Z-Ground Copper Compression Connector is a high-strength grounding solution engineered for secure, low-resistance connections in critical electrical systems. Designed to bond copper conductors to steel or aluminum line posts, this connector accommodates cable ranges from 2/0 AWG to 4/0 AWG stranded conductors, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of grounding applications. Constructed from electrolytic bronze with high-strength silicone bronze hardware, the FG2040R2 delivers superior corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in harsh environments. The integrated spacer plate prevents direct conductor-to-mounting surface contact, reducing the risk of damage while maintaining optimal electrical conductivity. Rated for direct burial in earth or concrete, this connector meets the demands of utility and industrial grounding installations where durability is essential. Installation is simplified with a true hex body and nut design, compatible with standard socket, box, or open-end wrenches. The FG2040R2 is optimized for use with hydraulic tooling featuring hex crimp dies (die code 76), reducing installation time by up to 50% compared to conventional connectors while ensuring a permanent, high-conductivity connection. Ideal for grounding systems requiring robust performance and minimal maintenance.
