Eaton Crouse-Hinds NCGS6197 Solar Cord Grip - IP68
Part Number: NCGS6197
Quick Summary
NCGS6197 solar cord grip provides rugged cable entry protection for PV installations in outdoor, harsh environments. Engineers often struggle with sealing, cable strain, and space constraints in compact solar junction boxes, leading to leaks or downtime. IP68 ingress protection, NEC/CEC compliance, and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification help ensure reliable operation and code adherence in the field. Designed for a 2-inch nylon body with nineteen holes and a 7 mm cable entry, it accommodates 12 AWG and 10 AWG PV conductors while supporting up to 1000V. The design simplifies installation, reduces field failures, and lowers maintenance costs over the system lifecycle.

FAQs
To install NCGS6197, ensure the entering cables meet the 7 mm diameter specification and align them with the 2-inch trade-size body. Route the PV conductors through the nineteen-hole pattern, tighten the grip mechanisms securely, and verify IP68 sealing after assembly. Check that the conductors used are #12 or #10 AWG and rated for 1000V PV service. Perform a leak-and-dust test before commissioning.
Yes. The NCGS6197 is rated IP68 for ingress protection and is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per NEC/CEC. Its nylon body provides UV resistance and weather durability, making it well-suited for outdoor PV arrays, inverters, and field junction boxes where moisture, dust, and temperature cycling are concerns.
NCGS6197 supports 12 AWG and 10 AWG PV cables with a 7 mm entry. It is designed for up to 1000V PV applications and uses a nineteen-hole configuration to accommodate multiple conductors, simplifying multi-string connections in solar assemblies.
Yes. The product is designed to be NEC/CEC compliant and suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations. It is also documented with UL certifications for related non-metallic portable cord connectors, supporting regulatory qualification and project approvals in North American solar deployments.
The NCGS6197 reduces maintenance through robust IP68 sealing and a durable nylon body, lowering ingress-related field failures. Its compatibility with standard 2-inch enclosures and easy installation can shorten labor time, while its long service life and adherence to NEC/CEC standards contribute to favorable total cost of ownership in solar projects.
