Thomas & Betts 2633 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What cable diameter does the Thomas & Betts 2633 cord connector clamp?
The 2633 straight chase cord connector grips cord with an outside diameter of .375 to .500 inches. Measure the jacket, not the conductor count. A cord under .375 won't get clamped properly and one over .500 won't seat, so on SO/SJO cord check the printed OD before you order.
2) Will a 1/2-inch cord connector fit a standard box knockout?
Yes. The 2633 is a 1/2-inch trade size fitting, so it threads into the standard 7/8-inch knockout found on junction boxes, panels, and control enclosures. That is the same opening a 1/2-inch conduit connector uses, so any enclosure already punched for 1/2-inch trade size takes it directly.
3) Can I use a cord connector instead of a conduit fitting for flexible cord entering a panel?
That is exactly what a cord connector is for. A conduit connector clamps raceway, not cord jacket, and leaves flexible cord free to be pulled at the terminals. The 2633 clamps the .375 to .500 inch cord jacket itself so mechanical pull on the cord is taken by the fitting and not by the wire connections inside the enclosure. If what you are landing is flexible cord (portable equipment, machine feeds, cord-connected motors), use a cord connector like this one, not a conduit fitting.
4) What is the difference between a straight and a 90-degree cord connector?
A straight connector, like the 2633, brings the cord into the enclosure in line with the knockout, which is what you want when the cord runs away from the box with room behind it. A 90-degree (angle) connector turns the cord flat against the enclosure wall, and that is the one to reach for when a machine sits tight to a wall or the cord would otherwise take a hard bend at the fitting. Both do the same strain relief job; the choice is purely about which direction the cord leaves the box.
5) Is the Thomas & Betts 2633 connector steel or die-cast?
Steel. That matters for a cord entry on a motor control panel or machine frame where the fitting takes physical abuse, since steel holds up to knocks and repeated cord tugging better than a thin die-cast body. It is also the reason this fitting suits industrial equipment connections rather than light-duty appliance cord entries.
6) Which Thomas & Betts cord connector do I order for 16/3 or 14/3 SJ cord?
Match the fitting to the measured jacket OD, not the wire gauge. The 2633 covers .375 to .500 inches, which is the band most small three-conductor portable cords land in, but jacket size varies by cord type and manufacturer. Put a caliper or a tape on the printed OD of the cord you are actually running; if it falls inside .375 to .500 the 2633 is the right one, and if it comes in smaller or larger you need the adjacent range in the same series.
7) Do I need to standardize on one cord connector across a plant's control panels?
For an MRO stockroom it helps. The 2633 is a single-part solution for every 1/2-inch knockout carrying cord in the .375 to .500 range, which on most facilities covers the bulk of machine and control-panel cord entries. Stocking one steel straight connector in that band, plus one size up and one down, keeps a maintenance crew from hunting fittings on a shutdown.
