Overview

The ABB GSC225 is a two-piece outer sleeve connector designed for hexagonal wire range applications. This connector features a 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) length, with an inner diameter of .225 inches (5.71 mm) and an outer diameter of .256 inches (6.50 mm). The soft bronze material is tin-plated, providing corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity in electrical installations. This connector is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, a trusted manufacturer in industrial and commercial electrical systems. The purple color coding helps identify the connector type for quick installation and maintenance. The two-piece design allows for secure clamping of hexagonal wires, ensuring stable connections in high-vibration environments such as machinery, control panels, and junction boxes. Use the GSC225 for terminating or splicing hexagonal wires in control circuits, motor connections, and signal wiring. Its compact size makes it ideal for tight spaces where bulkier connectors would not fit. The tin plating enhances durability and reduces oxidation, maintaining low contact resistance over time. Always verify wire size compatibility and torque specifications before installation to ensure long-term reliability.
