Eaton Crouse-Hinds 3/8" AC/MC Duplex Type Connector, Zinc Die Cast

Professional-Grade Armored Cable Connector for Secure Electrical Connections

The Eaton Crouse-Hinds 3/8" AC/MC Duplex Type Connector is a precision-engineered armored cable fitting designed for reliable connections in commercial and industrial electrical installations. This zinc die cast duplex connector delivers superior dimensional stability and corrosion resistance for AC/MC and FMC cable terminations in ordinary locations.

Key Features & Benefits

Superior Construction & Durability

  • Zinc Die Cast Construction - Precision casting ensures consistent dimensions and superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel fittings
  • Duplex Design - Accommodates both AC/MC armored cable and flexible metal conduit (FMC) for versatile installation options
  • Professional-Grade Materials - Engineered for decades of reliable service in demanding electrical environments
  • Compact Profile - Space-efficient design at 3.24" length allows installation in tight electrical enclosures

Installation Efficiency

  • Universal Compatibility - Works with both armored cable (AC/MC) and flexible metal conduit systems
  • Secure Connection - Duplex-type design provides reliable mechanical connection and electrical continuity
  • NEC/CEC Compliant - Meets National Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical Code requirements
  • Lightweight Design - At only 0.13 lb, reduces load on electrical panels and junction boxes

Technical Specifications

This 3/8" trade size duplex connector features zinc die cast construction with overall dimensions of 3.24" length × 0.95" width × 0.92" height. The connector is specifically designed for AC/MC armored cable and FMC applications in ordinary/non-hazardous locations. Manufactured to NEC/CEC standards, this fitting provides reliable grounding continuity and secure cable termination for professional electrical installations.

Installation Process

  1. Strip armored cable or prepare flexible metal conduit end according to manufacturer specifications
  2. Remove appropriate knockout from electrical enclosure or junction box
  3. Insert prepared cable/conduit through the duplex connector
  4. Secure connector to enclosure using appropriate locknut and bushing
  5. Ensure proper grounding continuity through the connector body
  6. Verify secure mechanical connection and proper cable support

Applications

Perfect for:

  • Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail spaces, and healthcare facilities requiring armored cable connections
  • Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants and processing facilities with AC/MC cable systems
  • Electrical Panel Connections - Main distribution panels, sub-panels, and motor control centers
  • Junction Box Terminations - Pull boxes and splice enclosures in commercial electrical systems
  • Equipment Connections - Machinery, HVAC units, and electrical equipment requiring flexible connections
  • Renovation Projects - Upgrading existing armored cable systems in older buildings
  • Mixed Cable Systems - Installations requiring both AC/MC and FMC compatibility
  • Ordinary Locations - Non-hazardous areas where standard electrical fittings are appropriate

Duplex Connector System Benefits

Duplex-type connectors offer superior versatility compared to single-purpose fittings by accommodating multiple cable types in one connector. This design reduces inventory requirements while providing contractors with flexible installation options. The dual compatibility with AC/MC armored cable and flexible metal conduit makes these connectors ideal for complex electrical systems where different cable types may be used in the same installation.

Why Choose Zinc Die Cast Construction?

Zinc die cast construction provides exceptional dimensional accuracy and consistency that's critical for reliable electrical connections. Unlike stamped steel alternatives, die cast zinc offers superior corrosion resistance and maintains tight tolerances over decades of service. The precision casting process ensures proper fit with electrical enclosures and provides reliable grounding continuity. Backed by Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century of electrical innovation, this connector delivers the professional-grade performance that electrical contractors depend on for long-term reliability.
