Lapp SKINTOP STR PG13.5 Polyamide Cable Gland, Grey, 100 Pieces

The Lapp SKINTOP STR PG13.5 is a high-performance polyamide cable gland engineered to provide secure cable entry and effective strain relief in diverse industrial environments. This grey cable gland is designed to maintain the integrity of electrical connections by preventing cable pull-out and ensuring a robust seal against environmental factors. With an IP68 protection rating, it offers superior resistance to dust and moisture, making it a reliable component for professional electrical installations where durability and long-term operational safety are essential.

Advantages

This cable gland stands out due to its high-quality polyamide construction, which provides excellent mechanical strength and resistance to chemical influences. The design facilitates quick and easy installation, saving time during assembly while ensuring a permanent, vibration-resistant connection. Its IP68 rating guarantees that the internal components of your enclosures remain protected even under demanding conditions, providing peace of mind for critical infrastructure and machinery applications.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and switchgear
• Automation and robotics equipment
• Electrical distribution boxes
• Outdoor lighting and signage systems
• Machinery manufacturing

This product may not be suitable for applications involving extreme high-temperature environments or exposure to aggressive chemicals that exceed the material specifications of standard polyamide. It is also not intended for use in high-pressure steam cleaning environments or areas requiring specialized metallic shielding for electromagnetic compatibility.

Key specifications

• Thread size: PG13.5
• Material: Polyamide
• Protection rating: IP68
• Color: Grey
• Quantity: 100 pieces per pack

To use the Lapp SKINTOP STR, insert the cable through the gland body, which should be pre-mounted into the enclosure wall. Tighten the cap nut to compress the internal sealing ring around the cable jacket. This action simultaneously secures the cable against mechanical stress and creates a hermetic seal that prevents the ingress of dust and liquids. Ensure the thread is properly aligned before tightening to avoid cross-threading.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size compatibility with your enclosure or junction box
• Check the cable diameter range to ensure a proper seal
• Confirm the environmental conditions match the polyamide material properties
• Ensure the quantity of 100 pieces meets your project requirements

Usage recommendations: Always ensure that the cable is inserted straight into the gland to maintain the integrity of the IP68 seal. Do not overtighten the cap nut, as this may damage the sealing element or the housing over time.
