The new cable gland – Progress Brass EMC easyCONNECT
Innovative contact spring for fast & easy installation
The Progress Brass EMC easyCONNECT says it all: the new cable gland from AGRO is unbeatably fast and easy to mount. This is made possible by an innovative contact spring which can be precisely positioned in no time at all. And thanks to strong, controllable clamping, it virtually guarantees a secure shielded tap connection every time. Hence the easyCONNECT contributes to trouble-free functioning of electronic systems without electromagnetic interference.
The new contact spring offers a number of advantages. To begin with, it is inserted into the bottom part by simply pressing its two wings together externally and thereby securing the shield before the pressure nut is tightened – incorrect mounting is practically impossible. The installer is spared the time-consuming tasks of cutting, widening or laying back the braided shield when installing the cable gland. This is because the contact spring optimally fits the thickness of the braided shield by virtue of its specially trimmed shape, which makes it suitable for use with any and all cable diameters. Another time-saving plus is that if disassembly is necessary – for example due to a defective component – fast and easy are again the key words. Not only does its innovative, material-friendly clamping technique ensure that the cable can be rotated, pushed and disassembled during mounting, but also the braided shield cannot be damaged or destroyed by snagging.
Large clamping area with a clearly defined limit stop
Despite its compact design, the new easyCONNECT has an extremely large clamping area with a clearly defined limit stop that enables precise positioning. Immediate installation feedback confirms that a good and secure shield contact has been achieved, whether for partially-stripped shielded cables or fully exposed cable shields. The engraved EMC lettering on the bottom part aids the installer in making the correct assignment and in checking the cable gland to avoid incorrect installation.
“The easyCONNECT is a genuine innovation in the area of EMC cable fittings,” points out Patrick Albisser, Product Manager at AGRO. “The feedback and results from the test market with the M20 size were very positive indeed. We are therefore confident that our new clamping method will firmly establish itself on the market.”
Diverse uses
The easyCONNECT has a variety of uses. Because it works in combination with all other components of the Progress series, the easyCONNECT can be used in a wide range of industrial-grade solutions. For example the two-part FPM seal sets for the high temperature range up to +200°C can be combined with a body base of high-grade steel. Superior sealing qualities and the corresponding IP 68/69k protection class make the cable gland ideal for applications in demanding environments.
The new easyCONNECT meets all of the technical prerequisites demanded of a professional EMC cable fitting and even exceeds EN 50262 compliance requirements. It is available in sizes M12 to M32 with both short and long threads and is delivered completely pre-assembled, ensuring that no individual parts go missing.
