Overview

The ABB GSC156 is a two-piece outer sleeve connector designed for hexagonal cable ranges, offering a compact 1/4-inch (6.4mm) length with a .156-inch (3.96mm) inner diameter and .193-inch (4.90mm) outer diameter. Constructed from soft bronze and tin-plated, this yellow connector ensures reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance in industrial applications. Its hexagonal design accommodates standard cable sizes while providing secure retention and strain relief. Ideal for use in control panels, junction boxes, and wiring harnesses, the GSC156 simplifies termination of stranded or solid conductors. The tin plating enhances conductivity and reduces oxidation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Compatible with AWG 22-16 conductors, this connector is a cost-effective solution for secure, vibration-resistant connections in low-voltage systems. No special tools are required for installation, and its compact form factor allows for dense packing in tight spaces.
