Overview

The ABB XC240-1 Screw-In Connector (SKU: XC240-1) is a compact, die-cast zinc electrical connector designed for secure, corrosion-resistant connections in industrial applications. Measuring 1.31 inches in length with a 3/8-inch size, this connector fits seamlessly into control panels, machinery, and electrical enclosures. Its screw-in design ensures a tight, vibration-resistant connection, reducing the risk of loose wiring or faulty circuits. The zinc construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments. Key specifications include M3.5 screw terminals for AWG 18-14 wire (1 or 2 conductors), a stripping length of 10mm, and a tightening torque of 1.2 Nm (11 lb-in). The connector supports rigid solid/stranded wires (1-2.5mm²), flexible wires with/without ferrules (0.75-2.5mm²), and accommodates lugs up to 8mm. With IP20 protection per IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60529, it meets stringent industrial safety standards. The failsafe bi-directional cylinder-lift terminal design prevents accidental disconnection, while the open-position delivery allows easy wire insertion. Ideal for DIN rail mounting (EN 60715, 35mm), this connector is a reliable choice for OEMs, panel builders, and maintenance teams requiring durable, compliant electrical connections.
