EMC-T Type Ip68 Brass Plated Nickel Metal Cable Glands

Product Description

A robust, metal-body cable gland designed for shielded (braided or foil) cables, ensuring both mechanical strain relief and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) / electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.

Key features include:

Housing: machined and plated brass (or stainless steel) body providing high corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical protection.

Shield contact: A metallised clamping insert or contact spring inside the gland ensures 360° continuous electrical contact between the cable’s braided/foil shield and the gland body/housing.

Sealing & ingress protection: Designed with O-ring and elastomeric seals (e.g., EPDM ) to provide dust and water protection—commonly rated to IP68 (and in some designs to IP69).

Electromagnetic shielding function: The gland provides a conductive path from the cable shield to the equipment enclosure (or grounding point), acting effectively as part of a Faraday cage to prevent EMI ingress or egress.

Mounting: Available in metric, PG, or NPT thread versions; quick-fitting models allow simplified assembly without shield separation.

Operating environment: Suitable for industrial applications including automation, power, communication equipment, rail, marine, etc. Typical temperature range: -40 °C to +100 °C (static) and ~-20 °C to +80 °C (dynamic) in some products.

Mechanical strain relief: Offers cable clamping and anchoring to avoid tension, bending or vibration stress on the cable entry point.

Typical Specification Phrase for Use

“Metal shielded cable gland for shielded multi-core cable entry. Nickel-plated brass body, contact spring engaging braided shield, IP68 rated, suitable for M16 – M63 or PG7 – PG48 thread sizes, temperature range -40 °C to +100 °C.”
