The YAGE PG system is a German standard for cable glands, and it classifies cable glands based on their thread size and pitch. The IP68 rating indicates that the cable gland is dust-tight and can withstand continuous immersion in water beyond 1 meter for a specified duration.
When selecting PG type IP68 cable glands, consider the following:
Size and thread type: PG cable glands are available in various sizes and thread types, denoted by PG followed by a number. For example, PG7, PG9, PG13.5, etc. Choose the appropriate size and thread type based on your cable diameter and the equipment's specifications.
Material: Cable glands can be made from materials such as brass, stainless steel, or nylon. Consider the environmental conditions and the level of corrosion resistance required when selecting the material.
Sealing mechanism: PG cable glands typically use a sealing washer or grommet to provide a watertight seal. Ensure that the sealing mechanism is compatible with the cable diameter and provides reliable sealing against moisture and dust.
Installation method: PG cable glands are usually installed by threading them into a pre-drilled hole or knockout in the enclosure. Make sure the installation method aligns with the requirements of your equipment.
Certification and standards: Check for any relevant certifications, such as the IP68 rating, to ensure the cable gland meets the desired level of waterproof protection. Additionally, look for certifications or compliance with standards like UL or IEC for safety and performance assurance.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for proper installation of PG type IP68 cable glands to ensure effective sealing and protection of your cables and equipment.
