IP68 Plastic Cable Glands for Electrical Enclosures

Cable entries are one of the most common weak spots on any enclosure. IP68 plastic cable glands from AP Technology seal that entry and provide strain relief, offering a cost effective answer for control boxes, junction boxes and electrical equipment. They suit panel builders, OEMs and installers across general industry. Choosing the correct thread and cable diameter is what counts, so check the clamping range, and use a reducing seal version if the cable is on the small side for the gland. The Bimed standard plastic series is one of the broadest ranges of IP68 polyamide cable glands available and is produced to EN 50262. Metric glands run from M12 to M63, Pg from Pg7 to Pg48, NPT from 3/8 to 1 1/4 and Pf from 3/8 to 1, with reducing seal versions on most threads. Colours include grey, light grey, black, red, white and blue on metric and Pg ranges. Design details make the difference during installation. There are no screw clamps to damage cable insulation, a lamellate construction gives equal cable compression, and a trapeze thread eliminates cross threading.

Metallic versions in nickel plated brass carry the same IP68 protection with a waterproof neoprene seal and a polyamide clamping insert, and they are available with metric, Pg, NPT and Eurometric threads. If you are looking to reduce vendors, AP Technology's cross referral service can review existing part numbers or a full bill of materials and recommend suitable alternatives from its line card. Data sheets, samples and costs follow, so a switch can be judged on real information. Partner brands include Intercontec, Bimed, Tecnikabel, TKD, ILME and Hugro.
