Appleton Century Crofts TC200197 2 in Straight Silver Cord Connector

Hazardous-Location Cable Connector

The Appleton Century Crofts TC200197 is a straight cord connector built for hazardous-location tray-cable runs. It accepts a single cable with a diameter between 1.63 in and 1.97 in and terminates in a 2 in MNPT box connection. The copper-free aluminium body resists corrosion in harsh industrial environments. Installers working to UL 2225 and UL 514B requirements will find it matches the listed standards.

Copper-Free Aluminium Construction

The connector body uses copper-free aluminium with a silver finish, reducing galvanic-corrosion risk where dissimilar metals meet. No external strain-relief component is supplied, so the gland seals directly on the cable jacket within the stated diameter range. The straight profile keeps the cable axis aligned with the enclosure entry, simplifying routing in tight tray or conduit layouts. The 1 5/8 in body length leaves adequate thread engagement for the 2 in MNPT fitting.

Standards-Driven Selection

Compliance with C 22.2 No. 30, UL 2225 and UL 514B is the decisive factor when specifying this part for classified areas. The connector is rated for a single cord only and provides no insulated throat or colour-coded gland identification. Buyers needing multi-cable entry, external strain relief or a different thread size must select an alternative model.
