Overview

The ABB GSC225NP is a two-piece outer sleeve connector designed for secure, insulated connections in hexagonal cable ranges. Measuring 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) in length with an inner diameter of 0.225 inches (5.71 mm) and outer diameter of 0.256 inches (6.50 mm), this connector accommodates standard hexagonal cable sizes while providing a tight, vibration-resistant fit. The purple soft bronze body is nickel-plated for corrosion resistance and improved conductivity, making it suitable for industrial, electrical, and instrumentation applications where reliable termination is critical. This connector is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, optimized for use in control panels, junction boxes, and wiring harnesses where space constraints and electrical integrity are priorities. The two-piece design allows for easy installation and removal without damaging the cable or insulation. The nickel plating enhances durability in harsh environments, including those with moisture, chemicals, or temperature fluctuations. Key applications include motor leads, sensor wiring, and power distribution systems where secure, insulated connections are required. The connector’s dimensions ensure compatibility with standard hexagonal cable glands and fittings, reducing the need for custom adapters. For precise installations, verify cable diameter compatibility before use.
