What material is the cable gland made of?
The cable gland is made from AISI 303 (1.4305) stainless steel, known for its good corrosion resistance and machinability.
Can this gland be used for data cables?
Yes, provided the data cable's outer diameter falls within the 3mm to 6.5mm range and the environment meets the operating conditions. The gland provides a secure seal.
Does it come with the lock nut?
Yes, the cable gland includes a matching stainless steel lock nut with the supply.
What is the operating temperature range?
The operating temperature range for this cable gland is from -20°C to +100°C.
How many cable glands are in a pack?
This model is sold in a pack of 5 pieces.
What is the thread size?

Troubleshooting
Cable gland does not seal properly
Ensure the cable diameter is within the specified range (3-6.5mm). Check that the lock nut is tightened securely and that the gland is correctly seated against the enclosure surface. Verify the cable sheath is not damaged.
Difficulty threading the lock nut
Ensure you are using the correct M12x1.5 thread. Check for any debris or damage on the threads of both the gland body and the lock nut. Ensure the gland is straight and not cross-threaded.
Corrosion or damage to the gland
While made of stainless steel, extreme chemical exposure can still affect materials. Inspect for damage and replace if compromised. Ensure the environment does not exceed the specified operating temperature range.
