Southwire MCG50A250 Flexible Cord Connector 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE MCG50A250 is a 1/2-inch steel flexible cord connector designed to provide secure strain relief at electrical enclosure knockouts and panel entries. The connector clamps onto cord or cable within a range of 0.15 to 0.25 inches in diameter, preventing pullout and protecting the cable jacket from abrasion at the entry point. A color-coded grommet seats against the cable for a tight seal, reducing exposure to moisture, dust, and other elemental contaminants. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting during residential and commercial panel, junction box, and enclosure work.

The MCG50A250 fits standard 1/2-inch knockouts found on electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and disconnect boxes in both residential and light commercial applications. The 0.15 to 0.25 inch cable range accommodates a variety of flexible cord and cable types commonly routed into enclosures. The steel construction suits installations where durability and secure mechanical retention are required at the point of entry.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit cord connector for 1/2-inch knockout enclosures accommodating flexible cord and cable with an outer diameter between 0.15 and 0.25 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for cord and cable connections at electrical enclosures. De-energize the enclosure and verify the absence of voltage before opening the panel or box and inserting the connector. Thread the connector body through the knockout and secure the locknut firmly by hand before tightening with a suitable wrench to ensure proper retention and seal. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the grommet and compromise the seal.
