Metric EMC Cable Glands from M12 to M63

Most new panels use metric entries, so a full range of metric EMC glands covers the majority of requirements. AP Technology supplies metric EMC cable glands from M12 to M63, in nickel plated brass and with an IP68 seal. They suit control panels, motor terminal boxes and machine mounted enclosures. Long thread and reduced clamping versions are available in the 2nd generation range, providing useful options for thick walled housings or for cables at the smaller end of a gland's range. 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. 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. Interconnect problems rarely stop at one component. Because AP Technology supplies cable, connectors, glands and finished assemblies under one roof, it can look at the whole connection and not just one part of it. That is useful when a change to cable diameter affects the gland, or a different connector changes how the assembly should be built.
