Thomas & Betts 2524 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What hub sizes does the Thomas & Betts straight strain relief cord connector come in?
Four hub sizes: 1/2 inch (part 2524), 3/4 inch (2535), 1-1/2 inch (2564) and 2 inch (2574). Pick the one that matches the threaded knockout or hub on the enclosure you are entering, then confirm the cable diameter suits that size.
2) What cable diameter does the 2-inch Thomas & Betts strain relief connector accept?
The 2 inch size (part 2574) is built for cable in the 1.375 to 1.625 inch outside diameter range. Measure the jacket OD before ordering: under 1.375 inches the grip will not clamp properly and you lose the strain relief, over 1.625 inches the cable will not seat. Smaller cable means stepping down to one of the smaller hub sizes.
3) Is this cord connector metal or plastic?
Zinc die cast, with a metallic finish. That gives it corrosion resistance and dimensional stability for industrial panel and machinery entries, and it is the reason it holds up better than a nylon cord grip in a rough plant environment.
4) Straight or 90-degree cord grip: which one do I need?
These Thomas & Betts connectors are the straight configuration, meaning the cable enters the enclosure in line with the hub. That is the one to use on panels, junction boxes and equipment where you have room for the cable to run straight out of the box. If the cable has to turn immediately at the enclosure wall because of tight clearance, a 90-degree cord grip is the better choice instead.
5) Can I standardize on one part number for all the cord drops in my facility?
Only if all the cables are the same diameter. Hub size and cable grip range go together on these connectors, so a facility with a mix of cord sizes needs a mix of parts: 2524 for 1/2 inch hubs, 2535 for 3/4 inch, 2564 for 1-1/2 inch and 2574 for 2 inch. The 2574 covers 1.375 to 1.625 inch cable. Sorting your drops by jacket OD first is the quickest way to build the order.
6) What does a strain relief cord connector actually do on a motor or machine connection?
It clamps the cable jacket at the point it enters the enclosure so pulling, vibration or flexing on the cord is taken by the connector body rather than by the terminal screws inside. On motor control panels and machinery drops that is what keeps the conductors from working loose. Install it by seating the cable through the connector, securing the connector to the enclosure, then tightening the grip enough to hold the jacket without crushing it.
