2 Product Overview
The PA66 nylon cable gland (PG type) is designed for secure cable entry and strain relief in electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and control panels. Available in sizes from PG7 to PG63, it accommodates cable diameters from 3 mm to 51 mm with reliable IP68 protection against dust and water ingress.
The body is moulded from PA66 nylon with UL94V-2 flame retardant rating, combined with a NBR rubber sealing grommet that provides excellent cable retention and vibration resistance. The clamping claw design ensures strong pull-out protection while maintaining a watertight seal around the cable.
PG thread per DIN 40430 provides compatibility with standard PG threaded entries. The cable gland is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, with chemical resistance against salt, weak acids, alkalis, alcohol, grease, and oil. Custom colours and sealing materials (EPDM, Silicone) are available on request.
Manufactured to rigorous quality standards under the management of SORIVO, each batch is tested for sealing performance, thread accuracy, and material integrity. For detailed company information, please visit sorivocable.com/about-us/.

5 FAQ
What is the difference between PG, Metric, and NPT thread cable glands?
PG (Panzergewinde) is a German standard thread per DIN 40430, commonly used for cable entries. Metric (M) thread follows EN 60423 and is widely adopted in Europe. NPT is a US tapered thread. PG and Metric are not interchangeable. PG glands are still prevalent in many industrial applications.
What does IP68 mean for a cable gland?
IP68 means the gland is dust-tight (first digit 6) and protected against continuous immersion in water (second digit 8). For cable glands, IP68 rating ensures that with correct installation and cable diameter matching, no dust or water can enter through the cable entry point.
How do I select the correct cable gland size?
First measure your cable's outer diameter, then choose a gland where the cable diameter falls within the clamping range. The thread size must match your enclosure's threaded entry. The gland should clamp snugly around the cable without excessive compression.
Can nylon cable glands be used outdoors?
Yes, PA66 nylon cable glands are suitable for outdoor use. PA66 offers excellent UV resistance and weatherability. The IP68 rating ensures waterproof performance in rain, hose-down, and temporary submersion conditions.
What sealing materials are available?
Standard sealing grommets are NBR (nitrile rubber), offering good oil and fuel resistance. EPDM rubber is recommended for outdoor and ozone-resistant applications. Silicone rubber is suitable for extreme temperature ranges from -60°C to +200°C.
