Eaton 708DC Squeeze Type Connector - FMC, Zinc Die Cast
Part Number: 708DC
Quick Summary
Eaton Crouse-Hinds squeeze type connector provides a secure FMC termination for 1/2 in conduit used in industrial wiring. In busy panel builds, inconsistent terminations and corrosion risk slow projects and increase rework. The product carries NEC/CEC standards and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Area classification for safe, compliant installations. With a zinc die-cast body and straight, non-insulated contact, it delivers reliable, fast assemblies suitable for industrial panels. This design is well-suited for FMC connectors and 1/2 in trade-size conduit across machinery, control panels, and enclosures, helping accelerate commissioning and reduce field adjustments.

Eaton Specification Sheet - 708DC
Feature: Zinc die-cast housing provides inherent corrosion resistance and rugged durability in harsh factory environments. Business impact: longer service life, fewer field repairs, and lower maintenance costs over the life of the installation. Application: ideal for control panels, machine wiring, and equipment enclosures where consistent terminations are needed despite vibration and temperature cycling. Feature: Straight, 1/2 inch trade-size squeeze connector compatible with FMC conduit. Business impact: simplifies routing in crowded panels, reducing installation time by eliminating threaded fittings and rework. Application: common in industrial machinery, conveyor systems, and control cabinets where fast, repeatable terminations are essential. Feature: Non-ins insulated insulator reduces additional component handling during field install. Business impact: lowers labor steps and training requirements, improving first-pass acceptance. Application: FMC terminations in non-insulated configurations, particularly in equipment that doesn’t require insulation barriers. Feature: NEC/CEC standards compliance and Ordinary/Non-Hazardous area classification. Business impact: mitigates regulatory risk and streamlines compliance audits across facilities. Application: suitable for general industrial locations and compliant panels where safety and regulatory alignment matters. Feature: Compact size and reasonable weight (1.5 in length, 1.08 in width/height, 0.07 lb). Business impact: lighter components improve panel density and reduce shipping/handling costs. Application: suitable for high-density panels and modular assemblies in automation and process wiring. The design aligns with Crouse-Hinds FMC connector families for compatibility across Eaton's product line.

FAQs
708DC is a straight squeeze-type connector designed specifically for FMC conduit. It accepts 1/2 inch trade-size FMC cables and uses a zinc die-cast body with a non-insulated contact for quick, tool-efficient terminations. This compatibility ensures reliable mating with Eaton's Crouse-Hinds FMC fittings and minimizes the need for adapters or replacement parts in common panel builds.
708DC adheres to NEC/CEC standards and is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, helping facilities stay compliant without over-engineering. UL certification pages and Eaton’s specification sheet further support its regulatory alignment. This combination reduces compliance risk during audits and simplifies procurement for standard industrial projects.
No. The 708DC is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per its area classification. For installations in hazardous or explosion-risk environments, select connectors rated for those conditions and consult applicable codes, standards, and manufacturer documentation to ensure safe operation.
The squeeze-type design eliminates many fasteners and tightens directly onto the FMC conduit, delivering fast terminations with reduced torque variations. This translates to shorter commissioning times, fewer technician errors, and more predictable electrical performance across multi-panel deployments in automation and control systems.
708DC measures 1.5 inches in length with a width and height of 1.08 inches, and it weighs 0.07 pounds. These compact dimensions and light weight support higher panel density, easier mounting in tight enclosures, and simplified logistics for field service or inventory management in automation projects.
