Southwire AMC12 1/2 Inch Mc Ac Snap-in Connector

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE AMC12 is a 1/2 inch snap-in connector designed for use with MC (Metal Clad) and AC (Armored Cable) wiring systems. It provides a secure, tool-free termination point where armored or metal clad cable enters an electrical enclosure, junction box, or panel. The snap-in design locks the connector into a standard knockout opening without additional hardware, speeding up rough-in and trim-out work. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this type of fitting as part of branch circuit wiring in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial electrical installations where MC or AC cable is routed into outlet boxes, junction boxes, load centers, or other enclosures with standard 1/2 inch knockouts. The snap-in retention mechanism holds the connector firmly in place during and after installation, reducing the chance of pull-out under normal wiring conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for armored and metal clad cable wiring methods. De-energize and lock out the circuit or panel before inserting or removing connectors in live enclosures. Verify the knockout size matches the connector before snapping into place to ensure proper retention and code-compliant termination.
