Overview

The ABB GSC175 is a two-piece outer sleeve connector designed for hexagonal range applications. Measuring 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) in length with an inner diameter of 0.175 inches (4.45 mm) and an outer diameter of 0.215 inches (5.46 mm), this connector provides a secure mechanical joint for wires or cables. The soft bronze base material is tin-plated for enhanced corrosion resistance and improved electrical conductivity, making it suitable for industrial environments where durability and reliability are critical. This connector is ideal for terminating or splicing wires in control panels, machinery wiring, and electrical enclosures. The two-piece design allows for easy installation without the need for specialized tools, reducing labor time while ensuring a tight, vibration-resistant connection. The hexagonal outer shape prevents rotation during tightening, maintaining consistent torque and reducing the risk of loose connections. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, the GSC175 meets industry standards for electrical and mechanical performance. Its compact dimensions make it compatible with a wide range of wire gauges within the specified diameter range, providing versatility for various wiring configurations.
