Thomas & Betts 2556 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cord diameter range does the Thomas & Betts 2556 cord connector clamp?
The 2556 grips cord with an outside diameter of 1.187 to 1.37 inches. Measure the jacket of the cord you are landing, not the conductor bundle, and if it falls outside that window the connector will either not seal on the jacket or will not close down enough to hold it, so a different range in the same family is what you want.
2) How do I order the right Thomas & Betts cord connector for my cable, by size or by cord range?
Order by both. The trade size, 1-1/4 inch on the 2556, has to match the hub or knockout, and the cord range, 1.187 to 1.37 inches, has to match the jacket diameter. Those are independent: the same 1-1/4 inch hub is served by several connectors covering different cord windows, so pick the hub size first, then the model whose range brackets your measured cord. The part number to specify is 2556.
3) Does the Thomas & Betts 2556 actually take the pull off the terminals, or is it just a bushing?
It is a strain relief cord connector, not a plain bushing. The body clamps the cord jacket so that pulling or vibration on the cord is carried by the fitting and the enclosure wall rather than the terminal screws inside. That is why it gets used on portable and vibrating equipment where a simple connector would let the conductors work loose.
