Eaton 744DC Squeeze Connector - FMC 90° Zinc Diecast NEC/CEC
Part Number: 745DC
Quick Summary
The Eaton 744DC Squeeze Connector is a rugged FMC connector for field wiring in industrial control panels. Engineers often contend with unreliable, non-insulated joints that corrode in damp environments and slow down installation. This model carries NEC/CEC certification and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations, helping meet code requirements. With a zinc die-cast body and a 2-1/2 inch trade size, it simplifies procurement and supports faster, compliant terminations. Additionally, its compatibility with FMC conduit reduces field engineering complexity and minimizes inventory fragmentation. It translates to lower total cost of ownership and faster project commissioning. Its 7.92 inch length and 7.92 inch width provide generous clearance for terminations while saving space in compact panels.

FAQs
The 744DC squeeze connector is designed to terminate armored FMC cable in field-installed wiring assemblies, typically inside control panels, junction boxes, and machine enclosures. Its 90° angle enables compact routing, while the squeeze mechanism provides a secure, time-saving termination without conventional insulation methods. This combination supports reliable, code-compliant terminations for non-hazardous areas.
Key specifications include conduit type FMC, style Squeeze, material Zinc die cast, connector type 90° angle, insulator Non-insulated, trade size 2-1/2 inch. The product measures 7.92 inches in length and width and 5.94 inches in height, weighs 2.86 pounds, and carries UPC 784564003614 with catalog number 744DC. It is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations under NEC/CEC standards.
Yes. The 744DC is specified to meet NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations. This ensures code-compliant terminations in non-hazardous environments typical of standard industrial facilities. By aligning with recognized electrical codes, it reduces compliance risk during audits and commissioning.
The 744DC is designed for use with FMC conduit and standard squeeze-type terminations, ensuring compatibility with other Eaton Crouse-Hinds FMC connectors and fittings. Its 2-1/2 inch trade size aligns with common FMC assemblies, simplifying procurement, inventory management, and installation in panels and enclosures.
The squeeze-type design accelerates terminations by eliminating additional insulation steps and reducing the need for separate connectors. Zinc die-cast construction improves durability, lowering maintenance costs. In practice, installers experience shorter panel commissioning times, fewer reworks, and a lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
