Blind Stops for Sealing Unused Enclosure Entries

An unused hole in an enclosure is a way in for dust, dirt and moisture. Blind stops from AP Technology close unused threads simply and cheaply, and they are available in circular or hexagonal forms with Pg or metric threads. Panel builders use them on standard enclosures with spare entries, keeping those entries available for future expansion. They are small parts, but a missed blind stop can undermine the protection rating that the rest of the enclosure was specified to deliver. Nickel plated brass adaptors allow threads to be enlarged, reduced or converted without touching the enclosure. Options include Pg to Pg reducers and enlargers, metric to metric reducers and enlargers, Pg to metric reducers and metric to Pg enlargers. It is a tidy answer when a panel was drilled for one standard and the gland you need is on another. AP Technology stocks plastic, metallic and EMC lock nuts to support the Bimed gland range. Plastic versions are glass fibre reinforced polyamide 6, with a flanged or unflanged hexagonal form, in all thread styles and a variety of colours.

Metallic lock nuts are nickel plated brass to DIN 46320 in Pg and metric threads, and EMC lock nuts are designed specifically for use with EMC glands. Buying is kept straightforward. There is no minimum order value on stocked products, cable can be cut to the lengths you need, and repeat requirements can be placed on scheduled or call-off orders. Custom labels and packaging are also available, which helps when parts are going straight to a production line or out to a site team.
