FAQs
The 736DC is a 90° squeeze type connector designed for 1/2" FMC conduit. Installation requires aligning the conduit with the connector body, tightening the squeeze mechanism to establish a secure grip, and verifying that the connection is mechanically stable and electrically continuous. Use standard hand tools appropriate for zinc die-cast squeeze connectors and follow manufacturer torque guidance to ensure reliable terminations.
The 736DC is rated for ordinary/non-hazardous locations under NEC/CEC standards. It uses a non-insulated, zinc die-cast housing suitable for FMC conduits and a 1/2" trade size. The unit is designed to resist typical industrial vibration and environmental factors found in standard control panels, providing dependable performance in non-restricted environments.
No. The 736DC is specified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. For hazardous or restricted environments, you should select a connector with appropriate ignition protection, insulation, and certification to meet the applicable safety standards and local regulations. Always verify location classification and enclosures before selection.
The 736DC carries NEC/CEC compliance and is identified for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations. Canadian certification references are available through UL listings for FMC connectors, as noted in the product downloads. This ensures regulatory alignment for electrical installations in North American facilities and supports concurrent compliance with multiple market requirements.
The 736DC’s squeeze-type, non-insulated design enables faster field terminations with fewer components and tools, reducing labor time during commissioning. The zinc die-cast body provides durable performance with low maintenance needs, translating to lower replacement rates and fewer panel reworks over the lifecycle of standard control cabinets and automation equipment.
