Thomas & Betts SCG-M161-L – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What cable diameter does the Thomas & Betts SCG-M161-L cable gland clamp?
The SCG-M161-L takes cable from 2 to 6mm outside diameter. That is a small-cable gland, so it suits control, instrumentation, and light power runs rather than anything heavier. If your cable jacket measures over 6mm, step up to a larger M-thread gland instead, because clamping outside the stated range costs you the seal.
2) What size hole and thread does the SCG-M161-L cable gland need in the enclosure?
It is an M16 metric thread with a 1.5mm pitch and 12mm of thread length. So you need an M16 tapped or clearance entry, and the enclosure wall plus any locknut has to fit inside 12mm of usable thread. Metric only, it will not thread into an NPT or PG entry.
3) Can this stainless cable gland be used outdoors or in a washdown area?
Yes. The SCG-M161-L is rated IP68 and NEMA 4, so it handles dust, driven rain, and hose-directed water at the entry. Body is stainless steel V4A (316-class), which is what you want for coastal, food plant, or chemical washdown areas where plated brass pits out. Surface is untreated stainless, no coating to chip.
4) Will this cable gland work on armored cable or MC?
No. The SCG-M161-L is a non-armoured gland, it clamps and seals on the outer jacket only and has no armor clamp or earthing cone. For armored, SWA, or MC cable you need an armoured gland that terminates the braid or wire armor and bonds it. Use this one on flexible cord, tray cable jackets, and instrumentation cable in the 2 to 6mm range.
5) Is the SCG-M161-L cable gland approved for use in the US and Canada?
It carries cULus, along with RoHS, WEEE, and LVD. The cULus mark is the one an inspector looks for on both sides of the border, so it will pass on a US or Canadian panel build.
6) What temperature range can this M16 stainless cable gland handle?
Rated -20 to +100 degrees C. That covers most outdoor North American installs and hot equipment enclosures, motor terminal boxes, and boiler rooms. Below -20C, for freezer rooms or far-north outdoor gear, this is the wrong gland.
7) Is the SCG-M161-L a straight or 90 degree cable gland?
Straight body, low profile. Cable enters in line with the thread, so plan for straight cable run-out behind the enclosure wall. If you are tight against a wall or another panel and need the cable turned, a straight gland is not the part, you want an elbow entry.
8) How are Thomas & Betts SCG-M161-L cable glands packaged for a panel shop?
They come 10 to an inner pack and 100 to the outer carton, which is the way most panel builders and MRO stockrooms buy them. Each piece weighs about 0.02 lbs.
9) What finish is the SCG-M161-L cable gland, and will it match other stainless hardware on the enclosure?
Bare stainless, natural colour, metallic, with no plating or coating applied. It reads the same as a 316 stainless enclosure or stainless conduit fittings, so a run of them across a panel face looks uniform. Nothing to touch up or repaint.
