Eaton 1707DC Squeeze Type Connector - FMC, Zinc Die Cast
Part Number: 1707DC
Quick Summary
The Eaton 1707DC squeeze-type connector provides reliable FMC connections for straight, insulated wiring. Engineers often struggle to secure consistent electrical continuity in FMC conduit runs when dust, moisture, or vibration challenge fittings. This connector supports NEC/CEC compliance and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, helping teams avoid rework and code issues. With a zinc die‑cast body and insulated design, it resists corrosion and delivers long-term reliability in harsh environments. The compact 1.06 in length and 0.75 in width fit tight panel cavities, while the 3/8-inch trade size supports common FMC wiring. By combining fast installation with proven performance, it reduces field labor and maintenance costs across industrial control applications.
