Overview

The ABB XC 491 90 Degree Squeeze Type Connector (SKU: XC 491) is a rugged, UL-listed connector designed for secure, corrosion-resistant connections between armored cable or flexible metal conduit and 1/2-inch trade size conduits. Constructed from zinc-plated malleable iron, this connector delivers superior durability and long-lasting performance in industrial and commercial applications. Its 90-degree squeeze design ensures a tight, vibration-resistant bond while accommodating cable diameters from 0.750 to 0.937 inches, making it ideal for armored cable (AC) and flexible metal conduit (FMC) installations. Key specifications include a compact footprint measuring 1-11/16 inches in height and 1-13/16 inches in width, allowing installation in tight spaces or adjacent knockouts without interference. The squeeze-type mechanism requires only two screws to secure the connection, reducing installation time and labor costs. The connector is UL-listed under File No. E23018 and CSA-certified under File No. 2884, meeting NEC 350-5 requirements for grounding applications. Its unique saddle design provides mechanical holding power exceeding listing agency standards, ensuring reliable bonding even in high-vibration environments. Compatible with smooth or corrugated aluminum-sheathed and steel MC cables, the XC 491 eliminates the need for multiple inventory items by covering a broad cable range. The removable bushing design further simplifies installation and reduces stock requirements. Trusted by electrical contractors and industrial professionals, this connector is engineered to enhance safety, efficiency, and system integrity in demanding electrical systems.
