Eaton 659DC EMT compression connector - NEC/CEC
Part Number: 659DC
Quick Summary
The Eaton 659DC EMT compression connector delivers fast, secure EMT terminations for control panels and machine equipment. In high‑production environments, misaligned connections or slow terminations drive downtime and rework. This connector complies with NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, with UL Canadian certification support. Its compact, threadless compression design and zinc die cast body offer reliable performance in control panels, reducing inventory complexity. Designed for straight EMT runs, it accepts standard conduit and reduces the number of connection points, which speeds installation and lowers labor costs. Engineers appreciate the non-insulated, threadless interface for clean panel aesthetics and easier rework.

Eaton Specification Sheet - 659DC
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 659DC uses a straight EMT compression design that enables quick, secure terminations with fewer tools and less risk of cross‑threading, reducing installation time on machine enclosures and control panels. This translates to noticeable labor savings and improved field reliability in high‑volume assemblies. Application: ideal for factory automation panels and equipment housings where rapid termination improves line uptime and throughput. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Zinc die cast construction provides robust mechanical strength and corrosion resistance in harsh environments, extending service life in manufacturing floors and outdoor panels. Benefit: lowers maintenance cycles and replacement costs while maintaining electrical integrity at the connection. Application: suitable for rugged industrial deployments and our Crouse-Hinds‑brand EMT ecosystems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 7.02 in length, 3.24 in height, and 3.6 in width deliver a stable footing for conduit terminations on longer runs, reducing movement and vibration at the junction. Benefit: improved reliability in dynamic machines and conveyor lines. Application: machine control panels and process automation enclosures requiring durable terminations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations area classification and NEC/CEC compliance provide regulatory alignment and safe operation in general facilities. Benefit: streamlines approvals, simplifies purchasing for compliant projects, and minimizes audit findings. Application: commercial and light‑industrial buildings with standard safety requirements. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UPC accessibility and downloadable Eaton specification sheets facilitate design integration and procurement accuracy, reducing part misidentification and order errors. Benefit: faster engineering approvals and smoother rollout. Application: design‑build projects and field service kits requiring reliable sourcing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Threadless, non‑insulated interface reduces insulation requirements in accessible panels and supports cleaner aesthetics, aiding future rework and upgrades. Benefit: lower installation complexity and easier retrofits. Application: control room backplanes and equipment cabinets where visibility and accessibility matter.

FAQs
The 659DC is a straight EMT compression connector designed for standard EMT conduit and compatible with Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds series. It uses a threadless, compression mechanism that provides secure terminations without cross‑threading, simplifying field installations in control panels and equipment cabinets.
The 659DC complies with NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. It also aligns with UL Canadian certification references, supporting safe deployments in North American facilities and simplifying regulatory approvals for mixed‑location projects.
Yes. Its straight configuration and 4" trade size, along with a compact zinc die cast body, support runs between panels and enclosures. The 7.02 in length aids mounting stability, while the threadless design helps in tight spaces where access is limited and alignment must be maintained.
Threadless compression eliminates the risk of cross‑threading and reduces the number of required tools, speeding up installations and rework. This is especially valuable in dense control panels and equipment cabinets where space is at a premium.
Using the 659DC offers accuracy in procurement through a clear catalog number, improved field reliability with a robust zinc die cast body, and compliance with NEC/CEC standards. The result is reduced downtime, streamlined approvals, and lower lifecycle costs for automation and electrical installations.
