The TE Connectivity 2213229-2 is a ring nut accessory from the Nector M series, designed to secure cable entries on compatible plug and receptacle housings. It accepts cable diameters from 14mm to 17mm and provides cable retention through the threaded gland interface. The glass-filled PBT material gives the nut the mechanical stiffness needed to maintain clamp force over temperature cycles without creeping loose — important for field-installed cable glands that see thermal cycling in an enclosure.
Cable Diameter Fit and Compatibility
The ring nut is specified for cable diameters of 14mm to 17mm, which means it fits standard industrial cable sizes in that range. It is compatible with Nector M plug and receptacle housings — the same series that accepts 5, 6, and 7 position inserts. If you are building a harness with a Nector M housing and a cable in that diameter band, this is the nut that completes the cable entry seal and retention.
