Lapp SKINTOP MS-M-XL ATEX M20x1.5 Cable Gland, Nickel-Plated Brass, 50 Pieces

The Lapp SKINTOP MS-M-XL ATEX M20x1.5 cable gland is a robust and reliable solution for secure cable entry in industrial applications where safety and durability are paramount. Constructed from high-quality nickel-plated brass and equipped with silicone seals, this connector is engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions while maintaining structural integrity. The extended thread design provides additional flexibility for installations involving thicker housing walls, ensuring a secure and permanent connection for your electrical systems.

Advantages

This cable gland offers exceptional mechanical stability and chemical resistance due to its nickel-plated brass construction. The integrated silicone sealing system ensures a high level of protection against dust and water ingress, meeting the IP68 standard. Its ATEX certification makes it an essential component for installations in hazardous areas where explosion protection is required. The design provides effective strain relief, preventing cable damage and ensuring long-term operational reliability in demanding industrial settings.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical installations in hazardous areas
• Equipment requiring ATEX-certified components
• Applications needing high IP68 ingress protection
• Environments where mechanical strain relief is critical
• Installations involving thicker enclosure walls

This product may not be suitable for applications requiring non-metallic materials or for environments where the specific chemical compatibility of nickel-plated brass is not appropriate. It is also not intended for use with cable diameters outside the specified clamping range of the M20x1.5 thread size.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M20x1.5
• Material: Nickel-plated brass
• Seal material: Silicone
• Protection rating: IP68
• Length: 37 mm
• Quantity: 50 pieces per pack

How to use

To install the cable gland, insert the threaded body through the pre-drilled hole in the enclosure wall and secure it firmly using the appropriate locknut. Feed the cable through the gland until the desired length is reached inside the housing. Tighten the dome nut by hand or with a suitable wrench to compress the internal silicone seal around the cable jacket. This action simultaneously secures the cable, provides strain relief, and creates a liquid-tight and dust-tight seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the M20x1.5 thread size matches your enclosure requirements
• Ensure the cable diameter is compatible with the gland's clamping range
• Confirm that the ATEX certification meets the safety standards of your specific installation site
• Check the wall thickness of your enclosure to ensure the extended thread length is sufficient

Ensure that the dome nut is tightened sufficiently to achieve the required IP68 seal, but avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the silicone components. Regular inspections are recommended to maintain the integrity of the connection in high-vibration environments.
