TE Connectivity Ventilation Cable Glands

Introduction

TE Connectivity's Ventilation Cable Glands are innovative components designed to enhance the performance and reliability of electrical connections. By combining the functions of a cable gland and a pressure balance mechanism, these glands help prevent overheating and equipment failure while also mitigating water condensation in sealed environments.

Part Description

The TE Connectivity Ventilation Cable Glands feature a unique design that integrates a cable gland with a ventilation plug. This dual functionality allows for the balancing of pressure differences between the internal housing and the external environment. The glands are available in both plastic (Polyamide) and metal (brass) materials, providing options for various applications. They are designed for easy assembly and come with multiple thread options, including PG, Metric, and NPT. With an ingress protection rating of IP68 and IP69, these glands are suitable for demanding environments. The specialized venting membrane, made of PTFE, allows air and vapor to pass while blocking liquids and particulates, ensuring optimal performance.
