Helukabel Helutop HT-M20 Polyamide Cable Gland IP68 Light Grey

The Helukabel Helutop HT-M20 is a high-quality polyamide cable gland engineered for secure cable entry and effective strain relief in various industrial applications. Constructed from durable Polyamide 6 and featuring a chloroprene rubber seal, this component provides a robust barrier against environmental factors. With an IP68 protection rating, it ensures complete protection against dust ingress and water immersion, making it a reliable choice for demanding electrical installations.

Advantages

This cable gland offers exceptional performance due to its specialized clamping lamella design, which provides optimum strain relief for cables, preventing damage and ensuring long-term connection stability. The material composition is free from phosphorus, silicone, and cadmium, adhering to high environmental and safety standards. Its design facilitates easy and rapid assembly, which contributes to significant time and cost savings during installation. Furthermore, the inclusion of vibration protection ensures that the connection remains secure even in environments subject to mechanical stress or movement.

Suitable for

• Machine and plant construction
• Robotics and automation technology
• Vehicle construction and shipbuilding
• Railway technology
• Installation and control cabinet construction

When it may not be suitable

This product is designed for standard industrial environments and may not be suitable for applications involving extreme chemical exposure or temperatures exceeding the thermal limits of Polyamide 6. It is not intended for high-pressure underwater applications beyond the specified IP68 rating.

Key specifications

• Material: Polyamide 6
• Seal material: Chloroprene rubber
• Protection rating: IP68 (dust-tight and watertight)
• Thread size: M20
• Features: Vibration protection, clamping lamella for strain relief
• Compliance: EN 62444 standard

How to use

To install the Helukabel Helutop HT-M20, insert the cable through the gland into the enclosure or housing. Tighten the cap nut to compress the internal seal around the cable jacket, which simultaneously activates the clamping lamella for strain relief. Ensure the thread is properly aligned with the mounting hole to prevent cross-threading. The assembly process is designed to be straightforward, requiring standard tools to achieve a secure, sealed connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the M20 thread size matches your existing enclosure or mounting hole.
• Ensure the cable diameter falls within the manufacturer's specified clamping range for this model.
• Check the environmental conditions of your installation site to ensure compatibility with Polyamide 6.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to maintain the IP68 integrity, ensure the cable is inserted straight and the cap nut is tightened sufficiently to create a uniform seal around the cable sheath. Regularly inspect the connection in high-vibration environments to ensure the nut remains secure.
