Eaton 1741DC Squeeze Type Connector - FMC 90° Insulated

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 1741DC uses a zinc die-cast body that provides robust mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, improving long-term reliability in non-hazardous locations. This translates to lower maintenance costs and fewer field failures in factory wiring installations that rely on FMC connectors. The 90° angle design enhances space efficiency in crowded control panels and cable trays, enabling quicker routing and cleaner terminations for more streamlined panel builds. An insulated construction reduces the risk of electrical arcing and thermal losses, supporting safer operation in continuous-duty environments and meeting code requirements for enclosed wiring enclosures. The squeeze-type mechanism simplifies installation, reducing labor time per connection and speeding up commissioning for large automation projects. Compatibility with standard FMC conduits makes retrofits and upgrades straightforward, minimizing downtime during plant modernization. The connector’s adherence to NEC/CEC standards and its ordinary/non-hazardous area classification provide a clear compliance path for electrical contractors, reducing audit concerns and ensuring consistent documentation. Real-world usage reports show measurable improvements in installation efficiency, with fewer call-backs due to insulation failures or loose connections. With Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds series, you gain a proven partner for industrial wiring and connectivity, backed by cataloged specifications and readily available replacement parts, helping procurement consolidate sourcing and achieve better lead times.
