Ergom MDW 13H Brass Cable Gland PG13.5 IP68

The Ergom MDW 13H is a professional-grade brass cable gland engineered for secure cable entry and effective strain relief in industrial electrical systems. Constructed from high-quality brass, this component provides robust mechanical protection for cables, ensuring they remain firmly in place while preventing damage from external tension or vibration. With its PG13.5 thread size and an IP68 ingress protection rating, it offers a reliable seal against dust ingress and water immersion, making it a dependable choice for demanding environments where equipment integrity is critical.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the Ergom MDW 13H lies in its durable brass construction, which offers superior resistance to mechanical stress and environmental factors compared to plastic alternatives. The IP68 rating ensures that the connection remains airtight and watertight even under challenging conditions, protecting sensitive electrical components from moisture and contaminants. Its design facilitates a straightforward installation process while maintaining a high level of cable retention, which helps to extend the service life of the connected wiring by minimizing wear and tear at the entry point.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical enclosures and control panels
• Outdoor electrical installations requiring moisture protection
• Machinery and automation equipment
• Environments where high mechanical strength is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable gland is designed specifically for PG13.5 threaded ports and may not be compatible with metric or NPT threaded enclosures without the use of appropriate adapters. It is also not intended for use in environments involving highly corrosive chemicals that could degrade the brass material over time.

Key specifications

• Material: Brass
• Thread size: PG13.5
• Ingress protection rating: IP68
• Function: Cable strain relief and sealing

How to use

To install the Ergom MDW 13H, first ensure that the enclosure port is clean and compatible with the PG13.5 thread. Insert the gland body into the opening and secure it firmly using the provided locknut. Feed the cable through the gland and tighten the dome nut to compress the internal sealing ring around the cable jacket. This action creates the necessary seal and provides the required strain relief to prevent the cable from being pulled out of the connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your enclosure port matches the PG13.5 thread standard.
• Check the diameter of your cable to ensure it falls within the clamping range of the gland.
• Consider the environmental conditions to ensure brass is the appropriate material for your application.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to maintain the IP68 rating, ensure that the dome nut is tightened sufficiently to create a uniform seal around the cable. Avoid over-tightening, which could potentially damage the internal sealing components.
