Appleton TMC2 Series Jacketed MC Cable Connector, NEMA 4X Rated

Appleton TMC2 connectors terminate jacketed MC/MC-HL cable with corrugated interlocked aluminum/steel armor or continuously welded armor (TECK or CLx), forming a mechanical watertight connection while maintaining ground continuity for the cable armor. Available in trade sizes 1/2" thru 4, they carry a NEMA 4X and IP66 rating from an integral 'O' ring face seal. The compact two-piece design speeds installation with no disassembly required and delivers true 360° grounding.

Appleton TMC2-050099A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Appleton TMC2 connector fit my jacketed MC cable, and how do I pick the right size?
Sizing is done off the cable, not the box. The TMC2 covers cable armor diameters from 0.42 through 3.94 inches and jacket diameters from 0.50 through 4.25 inches, across trade sizes 1/2 inch through 4 inches. Measure the armor OD and the outer jacket OD on the cable you are terminating and match both to the range for the size you order. It terminates jacketed MC and MC-HL cable with corrugated interlocked aluminum or steel armor, and also continuously welded armor such as TECK or CLx.
2) Is the Appleton TMC2 approved for hazardous locations?
Yes, and it covers a wide span of them: Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D; Class I, Zones 1 and 2, AExe/Exe II AEx/Ex tA IIC; Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, G; and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2. That makes it usable on gas, dust and fiber classified areas rather than just Division 2 gas.
3) Can the TMC2 be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
It is built for wet service. An integral O-ring face seal gives a NEMA 4X and IP66 rating plus a deluge-proof seal, which is why it shows up on offshore platforms and outdoor onshore industrial installs. The Viton O-ring and the corrosion-resistant body options back that up in salt air.
4) Does the TMC2 provide 360 degree grounding of the cable armor?
Yes. The connector maintains ground continuity through the cable armor and delivers true 360 degree grounding via a stainless steel grounding spring, so the armor is bonded around its full circumference rather than through a single set screw contact point.
5) Can a Bryant WPC weatherproof connector fitting be used in place of an Appleton TMC2 to terminate jacketed MC cable?
No. The Appleton TMC2 is a cable gland style fitting that terminates jacketed MC/MC-HL cable with corrugated interlocked aluminum or steel armor or continuously welded TECK/CLx armor, clamping the armor for 360 degree grounding and sealing on the jacket with an integral Viton O ring face seal for NEMA 4X and IP66 protection. The Bryant WPC is a weatherproof wiring connector fitting and is not an armored cable termination, so it will not clamp cable armor or maintain armor ground continuity. For jacketed MC in trade sizes 1/2 inch through 4 inch, the TMC2 is the correct fitting.
6) Which body material should I order the TMC2 in?
Bodies, sleeve and gland nut come in copperfree aluminum (4/10 of 1 percent max), nickel plated brass, or stainless steel. Copperfree aluminum is the standard choice for general hazardous-location work, nickel plated brass and stainless are what you specify for marine, offshore or chemically aggressive atmospheres. Regardless of body choice, the grounding spring is stainless steel, the bushing is halogen-free LSF-TPE, the end stop washer is nylon and the O-ring is Viton.
7) What temperature range can these connectors handle?
Continuous operating range is -60C to +110C (-76F to +230F), which covers arctic-grade outdoor installs at the low end and hot process areas at the top.
8) How long does a TMC2 take to install, and can I reuse one if I have to pull the cable back?
It is a two-piece design that needs no disassembly before installation, which cuts termination time compared with multi-piece fittings you have to break down on the ladder. The fitting is reusable, and it clamps the armor independently of the seal, so you can set the armor grip without disturbing the jacket seal.
9) Can I use a standard weatherproof cord connector instead of an Appleton TMC2?
Not for the same job. Something like the Bryant WPC Series weatherproof wiring connector fitting is a wet-location cord/cable fitting, but the TMC2 is specifically an armored cable termination for jacketed MC, MC-HL, TECK and CLx, and it carries hazardous-location listings for Class I Div 2, Class II Div 1 and 2, and Class III. If your cable has interlocked or welded armor that has to be bonded, you need the armored-cable connector, not a general weatherproof fitting.
10) Is a Leviton industrial grade straight blade connector an alternative to the Appleton TMC2?
They do different jobs. The Leviton 15W33 is an industrial grade straight blade connector, 3-wire 2-pole, rated 125V 20A, used as a cord-end device for plug and receptacle connections. The Appleton TMC2 is a cable termination fitting that mechanically clamps jacketed MC cable armor into an enclosure hub, delivering a watertight NEMA 4X and IP66 seal and 360 degree grounding. If the requirement is a hard-wired armored cable entry rather than a corded connection, the TMC2 is the part that applies.
11) For a healthcare facility, does the Bryant 8269T cover the same need as an Appleton TMC2?
No, they address separate parts of a system. The Bryant 8269T is a hospital grade NEMA 5-15R connector, a patient-care-area receptacle-style device. The Appleton TMC2 is a cable gland for jacketed MC/MC-HL cable, rated for Class I Division 2 Groups A through D, Class II Divisions 1 and 2 Groups E, F, G, and Class III Divisions 1 and 2, with a continuous operating range of -60 C to +110 C. Hospital mechanical rooms and generator yards that run jacketed MC would use the TMC2 at the enclosure entry and the 8269T only where a hospital grade cord connection is required.
12) Will the TMC2 accept large insulated conductors, and how does it resist pull-out?
The body has a slim profile with a removable cable armor end stop, which opens up clearance for larger insulated conductors when you need it. Appleton also rates the design for superior pull-out prevention, useful on vertical cable drops and tray-to-enclosure runs where the cable weight hangs on the fitting.
