Pg Cable Gland
Pg Cable Gland
Frequently Asked Questions
A PG cable gland is a threaded fitting used to securely anchor and seal a cable as it enters an electrical enclosure, panel, or junction box, providing strain relief while preventing dust and moisture from entering through the cable opening.
PG stands for "Panzergewinde," a German thread standard originally used for armored conduit fittings, and it now refers to a specific thread pitch and sizing system widely used in cable gland manufacturing across Europe and Asia.
The correct size is selected based on the cable's outer diameter, ensuring the gland's clamping range and rubber seal insert can grip the cable tightly enough to maintain both a secure mechanical hold and an effective environmental seal.
They are typically manufactured from nylon (polyamide), brass, or stainless steel, with nylon glands preferred for general indoor use and metal variants chosen for applications requiring greater mechanical strength or EMI shielding.
Most PG cable glands, when properly tightened with the correct cable size, achieve an IP66 or IP68 rating, offering strong protection against dust ingress and water exposure, including temporary submersion in some cases.
PG cable glands are primarily designed for round cables, as their circular rubber seal insert relies on uniform compression around the cable's circumference; flat or irregularly shaped cables typically require a different gland design.
It is installed by threading the gland body into a matching pre-tapped hole on the enclosure, passing the cable through the gland, and then tightening the compression nut to seal and clamp the cable securely in place.
