Eaton Specification Sheet - ACB50DC
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The ACB50DC supports AC/MC and FMC conduits with a 1/2 inch trade size, pairing a robust set screw mechanism with zinc die-cast construction. This yields a secure electrical connection that resists loosening in vibration-heavy environments, reducing field rework and improving installation speed on panels, junction boxes, and distribution enclosures. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The zinc die-cast body provides durable, corrosion-resistant housing that withstands plant conditions. The lifecycle benefits include longer service intervals and lower maintenance costs in service-heavy facilities such as manufacturing floors and process lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: NEC/CEC compliance and UL certification give confidence for electrical compliance audits and safety assessments. The ordinary/non-hazardous area classification expands applicability to standard equipment rooms and non-hazardous locations, streamlining procurement for typical industrial projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Lightweight profile (0.1 lb) and compact dimensions (1.38 in length, 2.52 in height, 1.3 in width) enable easier installation in crowded panels. The 1/2 inch size aligns with common conduit runs, delivering faster installation without compromising mechanical strength. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Industry insight: for OEMs and facilities engineers, using standard Eaton ACB series connectors reduces part variety and simplifies spares inventory while maintaining supplier warranties.
