Description
Product Overview
The HEYCO #2053 SB 500-6 snap bushing is engineered to transform raw‑edged holes in panels and enclosures into clean, insulated entry points for a wide range of cables, tubing, hoses, and utility lines. Constructed from high‑impact, flame‑retardant polymer, the bushing meets UL and CSA certification standards, ensuring compliance with rigorous safety requirements for industrial and scientific applications. Its compact dimensions—0.41 x 0.41 x 0.41 inches—and lightweight design (2.08 ounces) make it ideal for dense panel layouts where space is at a premium. The black finish provides a neutral aesthetic that blends seamlessly with most equipment housings while offering resistance to UV exposure and chemical agents commonly encountered in manufacturing environments.
Usage
Designed for versatility, this snap bushing is suited for a variety of installation scenarios. Electrical engineers and technicians use it to secure power transmission cables, control wiring, and telecommunications lines within control panels, motor enclosures, and distribution cabinets. The locking fingers snap into place with fingertip pressure, eliminating the need for tools and reducing installation time. The bushing accommodates panel thicknesses up to 0.5 inches, making it compatible with standard sheet metal thicknesses found in most industrial equipment. Its insulated design protects against abrasion, moisture ingress, and accidental contact, which is critical in harsh environments such as factories, processing plants, and outdoor installations.

FAQ
What cable sizes can the HEYCO snap bushing accommodate?
The bushing is designed for a range of cable diameters typically used in industrial control and power applications, from small gauge control wires up to 0.25 inches in outer diameter. For larger conduit or hose sizes, a different bushing model may be required.
Is the snap bushing reusable after removal?
Yes, the locking fingers are engineered to release with moderate pressure, allowing the bushing to be repositioned or removed without damage. However, repeated removal and re‑installation may eventually wear the finger tips, so it is recommended to limit re‑use to a few cycles.
Can the bushing be used in outdoor or wet environments?
The black polymer material is rated for outdoor exposure and offers resistance to moisture and UV radiation. While the bushing itself is water‑resistant, the overall enclosure should still be sealed according to the system’s environmental protection requirements.
What is the difference between this model and other HEYCO snap bushings?
This model, #2053 SB 500-6, is specifically sized for 0.5‑inch panel thicknesses and comes in a black finish. Other models may differ in panel thickness capacity, color, or material composition, such as nylon or reinforced polymer, to suit specialized applications.
How do I verify the UL certification of the product?
The UL listing number is printed on the product packaging and can be cross‑referenced on the UL Online Certifications Directory. Additionally, the product datasheet provided by HEYCO includes the UL certification details for reference.
