Introduction to the cable gland materials

A cable gland‘s performance starts with its material. The materials used for cable waterproof connectors usually have the properties of waterproofing, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, etc. Here are several common materials for you:

1. Brass: It has good electrical conductivity which can effectively transmit current and reduce energy loss. In most environments, brass can resist corrosion and ensure the long-term stable operation of cable connectors. And good formability, it is convenient to manufacture cable connectors of various shapes and sizes to meet different connection requirements.

2.Nylon (PA):Nylon offers good mechanical properties, including strength and toughness. It can withstand certain mechanical stresses and impacts, providing reliable protection for the cable connection.

It demonstrates excellent abrasion resistance, which helps to extend the service life of the connector, especially in scenarios where there is frequent friction or movement.

Nylon has a certain degree of flexibility, allowing it to adapt to different installation conditions and cable bending situations.

Nylon material also exhibits good resistance to chemicals, which enables it to remain stable and functional in various chemical environments.

3. Stainless steel: It has excellent corrosion resistance and strength, and can maintain stable performance in harsh environments.

4. Silicone rubber: It has good elasticity and excellent waterproof performance, and can effectively seal the gap between the cable and the connector.

5. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE): It has extremely high chemical stability, strong corrosion resistance and low friction coefficient, and is often used to improve the sealing performance and wear resistance of the connector.

6. Nitrile rubber (NBR): It has good oil resistance and wear resistance, and has a certain barrier effect on water and gas.

The selection of different material combinations and properties depends on the specific application scenarios and requirements of the cable waterproof connector. For example, factors such as the temperature, humidity and chemical substances in the working environment will affect the selection of materials.
