Eaton 710DC Squeeze Type Connector - FMC, Ordinary/Non-Hazardous
Part Number: 710DC
Quick Summary
The Eaton 710DC squeeze type connector provides secure FMC conduit terminations for industrial control panels. Its squeeze mechanism minimizes loosening and reduces installation rework, helping projects stay on schedule. This connector is designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and complies with NEC/CEC standards, with Canadian certifications available for broader market access. The zinc die cast body delivers robust durability, while the 1 inch trade size supports common FMC cable configurations. Non-insulated construction streamlines every termination by avoiding extra insulation steps, boosting field efficiency. Together, these features translate into lower labor costs, fewer call-backs, and reliable long-term performance in harsh factory environments.

Eaton Specification Sheet - 710DC
FMC conduit compatibility and squeeze-type design deliver quick, tool-free terminations that cut installation time and minimize the risk of loose connections in busy assembly lines. The 710DC’s squeeze action provides consistent compression, reducing torque variance and ensuring a reliable electrical connection across temperature swings. This feature supports faster onboarding for new technicians and helps maintain project schedules in dynamic manufacturing environments. Zinc die-cast construction provides a durable, corrosion-resistant housing suitable for ordinary locations in manufacturing plants. The rugged alloy resists impact and wear while maintaining tight, stable terminations. A non-insulated profile further simplifies field work by eliminating extra insulation steps, which translates to fewer step-downs in the assembly process and lower risk of ventilation or heat buildup near terminations. With a 1 inch trade size and straight style, the 710DC fits common FMC cable configurations and simplifies routing in tight panels and enclosures. The non-insulated design reduces energy loss at the seam and eliminates insulating material handling, while NEC/CEC compliance ensures readiness for global installations. Accessibility and maintenance are enhanced by the connector’s light weight (0.14 lb) and compact footprint, enabling easier inventory management and reduced shipping costs. Compatibility with standard FMC fittings and a straightforward installation sequence help technicians avoid cross-compatibility issues that can cause project delays. Industry challenges like mis-sizing or improper termination are mitigated by the 1" trade size, straight connector geometry, and documented resources in the FMC catalog and Eaton specification sheets, giving procurement teams confidence in spec accuracy and long-term performance.

FAQs
To install, align the FMC conduit with the connector, insert until seated, and apply the squeeze action to engage the internal compression mechanism. Confirm a secure, stable termination by checking for full seating and minimal play. Use standard NEC/CEC guidelines for handling non-insulated terminations and verify area classification remains Ordinary/Non-Hazardous.
The 710DC is NEC/CEC compliant for general electrical installations and rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Canadian certifications are available through listed certification reports, which support regulatory acceptance in multi-region projects.
No. The 710DC is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. For hazardous areas, select a connector with appropriate ratings and approvals that meet the specific ignition protection and compliance requirements of the installation environment.
The connector has a length of 1.75 in, width 1.48 in, and height 1.48 in, with a weight of 0.14 lb. These compact dimensions support dense panel layouts and easier handling during field terminations.
Control panels, electrical enclosures, and FMC wiring installations in manufacturing and process environments benefit from the 710DC’s quick-term and durable zinc die-cast construction, 1" trade size, straight geometry, and NEC/CEC compliance, delivering faster installations and long-term reliability.
