Overview

The ABB TCF050-54AL is a corrosion-resistant aluminum tray/cord fitting designed for secure cable entry and exit in industrial and hazardous locations. This fitting features a 1/2" NPT threaded hub for direct connection to conduit systems and accommodates cable diameters from 0.400 to 0.540 inches with a 0.540-inch throat diameter. Constructed from non-magnetic aluminum, it provides lightweight durability and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for demanding environments where weight reduction is critical without sacrificing strength. Key features include a tapered neoprene bushing and O-ring seal that effectively block moisture, dirt, and contaminants, ensuring reliable performance in harsh conditions. The chuck grip design delivers high mechanical pull-out resistance, exceeding standard requirements for cable strain relief. Installation is tool-free and hand-tightened, simplifying setup and reducing labor time. The fitting is certified for use in Class I, Zone 2 hazardous locations when paired with enclosures containing no arcing or sparking devices, and meets IEC requirements for tray cable applications. Applications span control panels, junction boxes, machinery enclosures, and portable equipment where cable strain relief and environmental protection are essential. Compatible with tray cables and portable cords, the TCF050-54AL is part of ABB's Installation Products line, known for compatibility with standard industrial hardware. Its aluminum construction offers a balance of strength and weight savings compared to steel alternatives, making it suitable for commercial and industrial electrical systems where durability and performance are paramount.
