EMC Glands for Control Panel and Cabinet Builders

Cabinet builders are increasingly expected to deliver systems that behave well electrically on day one. EMC glands from AP Technology help with this by giving screened cables a reliable bond to the cabinet, with installation that is simple and repeatable. They can be supplied with EMC lock nuts as part of a complete kit for panel production. Standardising on one fitting method across the workshop helps too, as results are more consistent and there is less rework when systems get tested. Where EMI or RFI suppression is needed, particularly on electronic devices, special EMC glands have a ferrite bead placed directly in the gland cap. That stops the bead moving along the cable and gives an easy, reliable assembly method. Typical impedance values are 50 to 100 ohms at 100 MHz and 40 to 80 ohms at 25 MHz, and bead material can be chosen according to the requirements. The 4th generation EMC gland has been developed for low contact resistance on assembly. Bi-directional cable entry and open contact fingers make cable positioning easy, and free radial and axial movement avoids damaging the cable.

Large finger contact surfaces maintain low contact resistance even on loosely woven braids, with high contact performance under vibration. Sizes run from M12 to M63, Pg7 to Pg48 and NPT 1/4 to NPT 2. Based in Hayes with stock held in the UK, AP Technology ships to manufacturers, subcontractors, installers and resellers worldwide. The company is ISO 9001 quality accredited and works from design, sourcing and manufacture through to delivery, so one technical sales team can look after a project from the first question to the final consignment.
