Overview

The ABB GSC101 is a two-piece outer sleeve connector designed for hexagonal cable ranges, providing a secure mechanical and electrical connection in industrial applications. This silver/tin-plated connector has a length of 6.4mm, an inner diameter of 2.56mm, and an outer diameter of 3.16mm, making it suitable for cables with a hexagonal cross-section within this dimensional range. Engineered for compatibility with standard hexagonal cable termination systems, the GSC101 ensures consistent performance in electrical installations where vibration resistance and corrosion protection are critical. The tin plating enhances conductivity and reduces oxidation, while the two-piece design allows for easy installation and removal without damaging the cable or connector. Common applications include motor leads, control panels, and junction boxes where secure, low-resistance connections are required. The connector’s compact dimensions make it ideal for space-constrained installations, and its silver/tin plating provides long-term reliability in moderate environmental conditions. Verify cable dimensions before selection to ensure proper fit. For high-current or high-temperature applications, consult ABB’s technical documentation for compatibility.
