IP rated cable sealing grommet provides added strain relief

06 April 2010

The Click Fit Snap-In protection grommet from Anixter is a novel two-component seal with integral cable anchorage that offers many of the advantages found in conventional cable glands. Apart from the cable anchorage, the grommet is compact, self-adjusting to its surrounding wall thickness, click-fixed in place, has a membrane seal, is waterproof, requires very little effort to install and saves up to 90% on assembly time, compared with conventional threaded cable glands.

The installation requires no tools and an integral pop-out membrane provides a permanent seal until pierced by a cable or pipe. Each size of Click Fit grommet accommodates a wide range of cable and pipe diameters; for example, the M25 can be used for cables and pipes ranging in diameter from 4 to 13mm. Because of its compact design, the Click Fit grommet only protrudes 5.7mm outside the enclosure.

The range covers hole sizes M20 & M25, snaps in to panel sizes from 0.5 to 5.0mm, seals up to IP67 and provides cable anchorage to EN 50262 (Type A). Standard colours are Black, White & Grey (RAL 7035).
