Overview

The ABB XC290-1 is a 90-degree non-insulated clamp-type connector engineered for secure, long-lasting electrical connections in industrial and commercial applications. Manufactured from durable die-cast zinc, this connector delivers reliable performance in demanding environments where vibration, moisture, and mechanical stress are common. The 90-degree clamp design allows for flexible cable routing and easy installation in tight spaces, reducing wiring complexity and saving time during setup. Key specifications include a 3/8-inch size with a clamping range of 0.40 to 0.63 inches, accommodating cables and conduits within this diameter. The connector supports rigid solid or stranded conductors (1–2.5 mm²) and flexible conductors with non-insulated ferrules (0.75–2.5 mm²) or insulated ferrules (0.75–1.5 mm²). A stripping length of 10 mm is required for proper installation, and the recommended tightening torque is 1.2 Nm (11 lb-in) to ensure a secure connection without damaging the conductor. The XC290-1 features M3.5 screw terminals compatible with flat Ø5.5 or Pozidriv 2 screwdrivers, providing a failsafe bi-directional cylinder-lift terminal design for shock protection. The connector meets IP20 protection standards per IEC/EN 60947-1 and IEC/EN 60529, offering basic protection against solid foreign objects. Its compact dimensions (1.80 inches in length) make it ideal for panelboard and switchgear applications where space is at a premium. Designed for versatility, the XC290-1 is suitable for use in control panels, machinery wiring, and distribution systems where reliable, maintenance-free connections are critical. Sold individually, this connector is a cost-effective solution for professionals seeking a durable, UL/CSA-rated component for 18–14 AWG conductors. Trust ABB’s legacy of precision engineering for your electrical connection needs.
