4 steps to install EMC Cable Gland correctly

In the application, the EMC cable glands are used to protect electrical equipment from electromagnetic interference.The EMC cable gland means the cable gland with electromagnetic compatibility. 

How to install a EMC cable gland,to correct installation of the EMC cable gland is very important, only the correct installation can play its role.

When the isolation cable enters the EMC cable gland, the metal contact piece attached to the cable gland can be used to make contact with the metal isolation woven mesh inside the cable. In turn, the electromagnetic waves of the interference are guided to the ground line, so that the electromagnetic interference source can be evacuated.

To correct installation of the EMC cable gland is very important, only the correct installation can play its role.

Step 1:

Screw the lock nut, then tighten the full EMC cable gland to the housing, install the lock nut in the back side to fit the EMC cable gland and enclosure

Step 2:

Determine the spot where the cable will enter the enclosure and mark the jacket. Remove the outer sheath of shielded cable, it will need approx 5-10mm of the insulation of the cable.

Step 3:

Insert cable through EMC cable gland, make sure the EMC cable gland’s grounding springs are in contact with the shield of the cable. The design of the contact elements will adapt to different cable diameters according to the clamping range of the cable glands.

Step 4:

Tighten the cap and conductivity will be established. Once the gland is secured, do not pull or rotate the cable because this could damage the cable.
