Lapp SKINTOP STR-M M20x1.5 Cable Gland, Polyamide, Light Grey, IP68/IP69, 5-10mm Clamping Range

The Lapp SKINTOP STR-M M20x1.5 is a professional-grade polyamide cable gland engineered to provide secure cable entry and robust strain relief for various industrial applications. Constructed from high-quality plastic, this component ensures that cables are held firmly in place while maintaining a sealed connection that protects internal electrical components from environmental hazards. Its light grey finish offers a clean, professional appearance suitable for control cabinets, machinery, and automation systems.

Advantages

This cable gland stands out due to its exceptional sealing capabilities and mechanical durability. The design incorporates advanced features that prevent cable pull-out, ensuring long-term operational safety. With an IP68 and IP69 protection rating, it provides a complete barrier against dust ingress and is fully capable of withstanding high-pressure water jets and steam cleaning, making it an ideal choice for facilities that require frequent wash-down procedures. The polyamide material is resistant to common industrial chemicals and mechanical stress, ensuring a long service life even in challenging environments.

Suitable for

• Control cabinets and electrical enclosures
• Automation and robotics equipment
• Industrial machinery and manufacturing plants
• Outdoor installations requiring high ingress protection
• Systems exposed to high-pressure cleaning

This product may not be suitable for environments involving extreme heat or direct exposure to concentrated acids and solvents that could degrade polyamide materials. It is also not intended for use with cables outside the specified diameter range, as this would compromise the integrity of the seal.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M20x1.5
• Clamping range: 5-10 mm
• Material: Polyamide
• Protection rating: IP68 and IP69
• Color: Light grey

To install the cable gland, insert the threaded body into the pre-drilled hole of the enclosure and secure it firmly using the provided locknut. Once the body is fixed, pass the cable through the gland and tighten the cap nut. As the cap nut is tightened, the internal sealing element compresses around the cable jacket, creating a secure, airtight, and watertight seal that also provides effective strain relief.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the thread size matches your enclosure hole requirements.
• Verify that the cable diameter falls within the 5-10 mm range.
• Check if the environmental conditions exceed the temperature or chemical resistance limits of polyamide.

For optimal performance, ensure the cap nut is tightened sufficiently to achieve the required seal, but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the threads or the sealing insert. Regularly inspect the gland during routine maintenance to ensure the connection remains secure and the seal is intact.
