Overview

The ABB GSC232NP is a two-piece outer sleeve connector designed for hexagonal cable ranges. Measuring 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) in length with an inner diameter of 0.232 inches (5.90 mm) and outer diameter of 0.263 inches (6.70 mm), this connector provides a secure mechanical joint for grounding and bonding applications. The soft bronze base material is nickel-plated for corrosion resistance and improved conductivity, while the orange color ensures easy identification in industrial settings. This connector is ideal for terminating and splicing grounding conductors in electrical distribution systems, renewable energy installations, and industrial machinery. The two-piece design allows for quick installation without specialized tools, reducing labor time compared to traditional crimp connectors. The hexagonal shape ensures a tight fit on matching cable lugs, preventing rotation and maintaining consistent contact resistance. Compatible with stranded copper conductors up to 6 AWG, the GSC232NP meets UL 467 and CSA C22.2 No. 41 standards for grounding and bonding equipment. The nickel plating provides a minimum 500-hour salt spray resistance per ASTM B117, extending service life in harsh environments. Each connector is traceable via the SKU GSC232NP for quality control and inventory management.
