Eaton 746DC Squeeze Type Connector - FMC 90° Zinc Die-Cast
Part Number: 746DC
Quick Summary
The Eaton 746DC Squeeze Type Connector provides secure FMC terminations for 3-1/2\" trade-size cables in panel and cabinet work. Engineers often struggle to maintain reliable, quick-connect terminations in crowded enclosures or on FMC conduits. It meets NEC/CEC requirements for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations, and its zinc die-cast, non-insulated body delivers durable service in demanding environments. With a 90° squeeze design and a compact footprint, installation is faster and more repeatable, while preserving seal integrity in FMC conduit systems. This combination supports streamlined panel-building projects and reduces field rework, delivering measurable time savings on installation crews and maintenance teams.

FAQs
Begin by confirming the 3-1/2" trade-size conductors match the 746DC’s inlet, then align the 90° elbow with the FMC conduit path. Secure the squeeze-type clamp using the recommended hardware, ensuring the conduit sits fully seated in the zinc die-cast body. Verify alignment and seal integrity, and test continuity after mounting in the panel location. The 10" length helps maintain a clean, organized routing in standard enclosures.
Key specifications include conduit type FMC, style Squeeze, 3-1/2" trade size, 90° connector angle, non-insulated insulator, and zinc die-cast material. The unit weighs 5.6 lb and measures 10 in L x 7.75 in H x 4.75 in W, providing a robust mechanical fit for tight spaces and reliable compression for long-term sealing in ordinary locations.
Yes. The 746DC is designed for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations per NEC/CEC standards, making it suitable for typical industrial control panels, switchgear cabinets, and other non-hazardous FMC conduit installations where durable, code-compliant terminations are required.
The connector complies with NEC/CEC standards for ordinary locations. It is a non-insulated, zinc die-cast 90° FMC squeeze connector designed to meet standard wiring and building codes for non-hazardous environments, supporting reliable installations in panel assemblies and junction boxes.
The squeeze-type design enables faster terminations with fewer field adjustments, reducing labor time during panel builds and retrofits. Its durable zinc die-cast construction lowers replacement frequency, while the 90° configuration simplifies routing in confined spaces, delivering improved reliability and a lower total cost of ownership over the life of the installation.
