Arlington Industries 38A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arlington 38A MC cable connector fit a standard 1/2 inch knockout in a junction box or panel?
Yes. The 38A is a 3/8 inch trade size connector that lands in a 1/2 inch knockout, which is the standard small knockout on device boxes, junction boxes and panel enclosures. Slip the connector body through the knockout and secure it with the supplied locknut on the inside of the box.
2) What size MC cable does the Arlington 38A connector accept?
The 38A takes cable with an outside diameter of 0.405 to 0.612 inches. Measure the jacket OD of the MC you are running, not the conductor size, and check it falls in that window. Common 14/2 through 12/3 MC generally sits inside that range, but the OD varies by manufacturer and armor type, so the 0.405 to 0.612 inch band is the number that decides it.
3) Is the Arlington 38A MC connector UL and CSA listed for commercial work?
It carries cULus and CSA listings, so it is accepted for both US and Canadian installations. That is what an inspector on a commercial or institutional job is looking for on an MC termination.
4) How does a snap-in spring steel clip MC connector differ from a screw-type MC connector?
The 38A uses a spring steel clip inside a zinc die-cast body: you push the MC into the connector and the clip grips the armor, so there is no setscrew to drive and no chance of an over-tightened screw crushing the armor. A screw-type connector needs a screwdriver at every termination and access to the side of the fitting. On a panel with dozens of home runs, or in a crowded enclosure where you cannot get a driver on the fitting, the clip style is the faster of the two. Where you want a mechanically adjustable grip on odd or oversized armor, a setscrew connector is the one to reach for.
5) How much room does the Arlington 38A connector take up inside a crowded panel?
Compact: the connector measures 1.410 inches by 0.850 inches. That matters when you are stacking MC terminations along the side of a panel or a control enclosure and knockout spacing is tight.
6) Can the Arlington 38A be used with AC (BX) cable and flexible conduit as well as MC?
The 38A is an AC/MC/flex type connector, so what governs is the armor OD, not the label on the cable. Anything from 0.405 to 0.612 inches outside diameter is within range. Measure the armor before you commit to a case quantity.
7) Is the Arlington 38A connector made of steel or zinc, and will it hold up in a damp mechanical room?
Zinc die-cast, silver in color. Zinc die-cast resists corrosion better than plain steel, which is why it is the usual choice for MC terminations in mechanical rooms, parking structures and other interior locations that see humidity. It is not a listed wet-location or raintight fitting.
8) Are Arlington 38A MC connectors made in the USA?
Yes, the 38A is manufactured in the United States. That answers the domestic-content question that comes up on government, school district and other publicly funded electrical work.
