Overview

The ABB XC 842 Insulated Screw-In Connector is a precision-engineered electrical connector designed for secure, reliable connections in industrial and commercial applications. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, this 3/4-inch connector features a die-cast zinc body for superior strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term durability in demanding environments. With dimensions of 1.62 inches in length and 1.12 inches in width, it provides a compact yet robust solution for electrical panels, control systems, and machinery. The connector supports multiple wire types, including rigid solid/stranded (1-2.5 mm²), flexible with non-insulated ferrule (0.75-2.5 mm²), and flexible with insulated ferrule (0.75-1.5 mm²), accommodating AWG 18-14 for UL/CSA compliance. A stripping length of 10 mm and tightening torque of 1.2 Nm (11 lb-in) ensure proper installation and secure connections. The IP20-rated design provides basic protection against solid objects, meeting IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60529 standards. Ideal for DIN rail mounting, the XC 842 delivers failsafe bi-directional terminal connections with shock protection, making it a dependable choice for engineers and installers.
