Thomas & Betts 2268 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What cable diameter range does the Thomas & Betts 2268 cord connector grip?
The 2268 is built for cable outside diameters from .250 to .375 inch. That covers most 16/3 and 14/3 SO or SJO portable cord and small multiconductor control cable. Anything smaller than .250 will not be gripped by the bushing, and anything over .375 will not seat, so measure the jacket OD before ordering rather than going by conductor count.
2) Will the 1/2 inch Thomas & Betts 90-degree cord connector thread into a standard junction box knockout?
Yes. It is a 1/2 inch trade size connector, so it threads into the 1/2 inch hub or knockout found on standard enclosures, junction boxes, and control panels. For a sheet metal knockout you still need a locknut on the inside; the connector itself is the hub-threaded body and bushing assembly.
3) When should I use a 90-degree cord connector instead of a straight one?
Use the right-angle body when the cord has to leave the box parallel to the wall or panel face, or when clearance behind equipment will not allow a straight connector plus a cord bend radius. The 2268 turns the cord immediately at the enclosure, which keeps the bend out of the cord jacket and off the terminations. If you have room to run the cord straight out of the knockout, a straight strain relief connector is simpler and cheaper.
4) Is the Thomas & Betts 2268 connector metal or plastic?
Malleable iron body with a metallic finish, not plastic or nylon. That matters in two ways on the job: it holds up to impact and vibration on machine and motor connections, and because it is metal it maintains the raceway ground path through the enclosure when properly bonded, unlike a nonmetallic cord grip.
5) Can I use the 2268 cord connector for strain relief on a piece of plant equipment or a motor connection?
That is what it is for. The 2268 is a strain relief fitting, meaning the bushing clamps the cord jacket so pulling or vibration on the cord is taken by the fitting instead of the terminal screws inside. Typical uses are industrial control panels, motor control centers, distribution panels, manufacturing equipment connections, and instrumentation or control wiring.
6) What part number do I order for the Thomas & Betts 1/2 inch 90-degree cord connector?
Order Thomas & Betts 2268. It is a single-configuration fitting: 1/2 inch trade size, 90-degree body, .250 to .375 inch cord range. There is no handing, finish, or size choice to specify, so the model number is the whole order.
7) Does the 2268 cord connector come with a locknut or sealing ring?
The fitting is supplied as the 90-degree malleable iron connector body with its strain relief bushing and gland nut. Locknuts, sealing gaskets, or bonding bushings for the enclosure side are separate items, so add them to the order if the box prep calls for them.
