Brass Cable Gland

What is Brass Cable Gland?

Brass is an alloy consisting mainly of Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) which is characterized by high qualities of ductility and malleability, 

as well as good resistance to corrosion. 

Nickel plating is a surface treatment that improves the corrosion resistance and durability of the brass cable gland over time, 

even in difficult and particularly aggressive environments.

What is the purpose of brass cable gland?


The main functions of the brass cable gland are to act as a sealing and terminating device to ensure the protection of electrical equipment and enclosures.

Brass cable gland may be used on all types of electrical power, control, instrumentation, data and telecommunications cables, 

and can also be used as a sealing and termination device.

What is the clamping range of brass cable gland?

The clamping range refers to the cable size range that can be clamped by the brass cable gland under correct installation. 
Each size of cable glands have a wide clamping range. Such as the M20 cable glands clamping range is 6-12mm, which means it suits the cable bundle diameter from 6mm to 12mm cables.

How do I choose a brass cable gland size?

Before you consider the size of brass cable gland, you need to be familiar with the three common threads: 

Metric thread, PG thread and NPT thread and know the difference. 

Metric thread is the most commonly used type, as it is used internationally. 
The threads have an angle of 60 degrees, and in the case of cable glands, typically have a 1.5 mm pitch between threads.

PG thread for Panzer-Gewinde, which is a German thread type. 

The threads have an angle of 80 degrees as well as a smaller depth than the other two thread types.

NPT thread for National Pipe Thread and is an American thread type.NPT threads are usually longer than Metric or PG and taper toward the end. 

The threads have an angle of 60 degrees and have a 1/16 taper so the threads compress against each other when tightened. 

After you identify the thread of the brass cable gland, you can choose the correct size according to the cable bundle diameter.

Jixiang Connector provide all types cable gland, you can find the brass cable gland size chart as below:

Metric Brass Cable Glands: M12 to M64

PG Brass Cable Glands: PG7 to PG63

What is the common types of brass cable glands?

Standard nickel plated brass cable gland

The standard brass cable gland quality is reliable,safe and environmentally friendly. You often find them in lighting, electronics and electrical industries.

Longer thread waterproof cable gland

Brass silicon rubber insert type cable glands

The seal and washer of standard brass cable gland are made of NBR, but the brass silicon rubber insert type cable glands’ are made of Silicone rubber.

Silicone rubber (SIR) is an elastomer composed of silicone containing silicon, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, in the form of a polymer. 

Silicone rubber has an advantage in higher temperatures and wear resistance.

Brass flexible cable gland


Brass flexible cable gland, known as brass spring cable gland, is designed with a spiral flexible protector and 

could protect the entry conduits and cables to avoid bending.

Due to the brass flexible cable gland offers maximum protection against conductor fatigue caused by flexing cables,

it is widely used in many fields such as industrial, instrument, machine, chemical, explosion-proof area, etc.

Brass multi hole cable gland

Brass multi hole cable gland is used for 2-8 core cables, to make sure each wire to get the best waterproof insulation, and not intertwined.

In application, Brass multi hole cable gland is an economic solution, not only can significantly reduce construction time and reduce costs, 

but also reduce the space occupied by the outlet hole.

Brass breathable cable gland

Brass breathable cable gland is one special cable gland with high pressure and multi functions, it has a breathable hole insert of the gland body.

The function is to ensure the water and dust cannot ingress the membrane, but it can ensure the circulation of air while maintaining the tightness.

Brass Double-locked Cable Gland

Brass Double-locked Cable Gland is designed with the interlocking, the special clamping jaw and the seal, 

and the clamping cable range is large, and the tensile strength is extremely strong.
