Eaton 656DC EMT compression connector - NEC/CEC

Straight EMT compression design simplifies field assembly by providing a predictable alignment path for conduit runs in crowded panels, minimizing the need for rework during energization. This reduces installation time and costly callbacks, especially where space is at a premium in control cabinets, machine rooms, and compact switchgear. Ideal for general wiring in industrial facilities needing quick, reliable terminations and code-ready fits that support ongoing maintenance programs. The threadless compression interface eliminates thread damage and cross-threading risk, enabling technicians to secure conductors confidently in tight confines and crowded panels. Business impact includes faster terminations, improved seal integrity under vibration and temperature cycling, and reduced warranty calls related to leaks. Applications span high-demand environments such as conveyors, pumps, and power distribution panels where reliability, safety, and uptime are critical. Zinc die-cast construction provides robust mechanical protection and corrosion resistance for installations in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, resisting impact and weathering over long service life. Non-insulated design reduces component count in enclosures and minimizes thermal buildup at terminations, simplifying wiring schemas and reducing heat-related degradation. Pair with EMT fittings in the Crouse-Hinds series to streamline procurement, ensure compatibility across vendors, and accelerate project timelines.

Trade size of 2-1/2 inches and dimensions of 3.65 in length, 3.56 in width, and 3.36 in height enable ergonomic handling and predictable enclosure planning. Weight at 1.06 lb indicates a sturdy yet manageable field component for field crews, reducing fatigue during long installations. These specifications help with performance forecasting, spare-part planning, and cross-compatibility with standard EMT hardware, simplifying vendor selection. Code compliance is a priority with NEC/CEC standards, ensuring electrical installations meet current regulatory requirements and safety expectations. UL listings, including Canadian documentation, support cross-border projects and simplify audits, warranty validation, and safety certifications. Non-insulated terminations reduce field component counts while maintaining a robust grip and reliable conductivity in ordinary locations.
