Overview

The ABB GSB128 is a two-piece inner sleeve connector engineered for reliable hexagonal wire range terminations. Measuring 5/16 inches (7.9mm) in length with a .128-inch (3.25mm) inner diameter and .152-inch (3.86mm) outer diameter, this silver-tin-plated bronze connector ensures secure, low-resistance connections in industrial applications. Designed for compatibility with standard hexagonal wire gauges, the GSB128 provides a durable solution for terminating wires in control panels, junction boxes, and machinery wiring systems. Its compact design and tin plating enhance corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity, making it ideal for high-vibration environments where connection integrity is critical. The two-piece construction simplifies installation while maintaining mechanical strength, reducing the risk of loose terminations over time. Compatible with a wide range of hexagonal wire sizes, this connector eliminates the need for multiple SKUs, streamlining inventory and reducing procurement complexity. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, the GSB128 meets industrial standards for reliability and performance in electrical distribution and control systems.
