FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the MS-SC designation?

MS-SC stands for 'Metal Shielded Cable', indicating its design for effectively connecting the shield of shielded cables to ground.

Can this cable gland be used for non-screened cables?

While it might physically fit, it is specifically designed for screened cables to provide optimal EMC performance. Using it with non-screened cables will not leverage its key shielding benefit.

What is the operating temperature range?

The operating temperature range is -40°C to 100°C.

How do I determine if PG16 is the correct thread size?

PG16 refers to a specific metric thread standard. You should measure the diameter of the threaded hole on your enclosure or equipment to ensure it matches the PG16 standard.

Is this gland suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, with an IP68 rating, it provides excellent protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for many outdoor applications.

What material is the gland made of?

The gland is constructed from brass and polyamide.

Are these glands sold individually?

No, this specific product (MPN: 53112240) is typically sold in a pack of 25 pieces.

Troubleshooting

Poor EMC shielding performance

Ensure the copper screen is making consistent, low-resistance contact with the gland's internal shielding. Verify the cable diameter is within the specified range (8-14mm) and the gland is properly tightened.

Gland is difficult to tighten

Check that the mating thread (PG16) is clean and free of debris. Ensure the cable is centered and not obstructing the thread. Do not overtighten.

Water ingress despite gland installation

Confirm the cable diameter is within the recommended range. Ensure all sealing surfaces are clean and that the gland is fully tightened. Verify the integrity of the mating hole/enclosure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent low-resistance EMC shielding for sensitive applications.
  • Robust construction ensures longevity in industrial settings.
  • High IP68 rating offers superior protection against environmental factors.
  • Versatile for a range of cable diameters within its specified range.
  • Reliable performance across a broad operating temperature range.

Cons

  • Specific PG16 thread may limit compatibility with non-standard mounting holes.
  • Material is brass, which may be heavier than plastic alternatives.
  • Halogen-free property is not specified as present.
  • Sold in packs of 25, which may be more than needed for small projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the cable by stripping the outer jacket and ensuring the copper screen is accessible.
  2. Insert the cable through the gland, ensuring the screen makes contact with the internal shielding mechanism.
  3. Tighten the gland nut to secure the cable and establish a reliable electrical connection.
  4. Mount the cable gland into a compatible PG16 entry point.

Compatibility:

  • Thread: Compatible with PG16 threaded openings.
  • Cable Diameter: Suitable for cables ranging from 8mm to 14mm in diameter.
  • Screening: Designed specifically for copper-screened cables.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Periodically check for tightness and ensure the seal remains intact, especially after significant temperature changes or vibration.
  • Inspect the nickel-plated surface for any signs of corrosion or damage.
