Eaton ASB 0 anti-short bushing - 90°C rating
Part Number: ASB 0
Quick Summary
Eaton ASB 0 anti-short bushing protects conductors at conduit terminations while enabling reliable AC/MC and FMC installations. This compact accessory helps prevent short circuits that can cause panel downtime and equipment damage in demanding industrial environments. The ASB 0 meets NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations, aligning with Canadian certification references for added confidence. By delivering a 90°C temperature rating, it supports higher ambient conditions and reduces thermal stress on bulky terminations. For design and maintenance teams, this translates to faster commissioning, fewer replacement parts, and improved lifecycle cost management, while maintaining compatibility with 5/16 in trade-size fittings and Eaton Crouse-Hinds anti-short line.

Yes. The ASB 0 is specified for AC/MC and FMC conduits with a 5/16 in trade size, making it a seamless fit for standard Eaton Crouse-Hinds installations. Its compact 0.6 in footprint also helps when space is limited in control panels.
ASB 0 complies with NEC/CEC standards and is suitable for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations. It carries a 90°C rating and is documented in Canadian certification references, providing cross-border confidence for panel assemblies and maintenance programs.
ASB 0 is ideal for industrial automation panels, machine enclosures, and control cabinets where short-circuit prevention at conduit terminations is critical. It supports 5/16 in conduit connections and remains easy to install in compact layouts common to automated equipment and machinery.
By reducing short-circuit risk and simplifying terminations, ASB 0 lowers downtime and spare-part usage. Its 90°C rating expands operating envelopes, while NEC/CEC compliance accelerates approvals, delivering faster project turnover and lower lifecycle costs.
Ensure conduit type compatibility (AC/MC or FMC) and verify the 5/16 in trade size fits the intended termination. Check enclosure space given the 0.6 in dimensions, and confirm compliance with local standards (NEC/CEC) for the specific location type.
