Plica M12 Polyamide Light Grey Cable Gland with Strain Relief, IP68, 3-6.5mm

In industrial control panels and machine building, securing cables against dust, moisture, and mechanical stress is non-negotiable. The Plica M12 cable gland in light grey polyamide 6 (PA6) provides a reliable, halogen-free solution for routing and protecting cables with diameters from 3 to 6.5 mm. Its metric M12 thread and lamellar strain relief ensure a firm, vibration-resistant hold, while the IP68 rating guarantees protection against dust ingress and continuous immersion in water. Whether you're wiring sensors, actuators, or junction boxes, this gland delivers long-term performance in demanding environments.

Why choose it

This cable gland combines robust construction with easy installation. The PA6 body resists impact, oils, and many chemicals, while the NBR seal maintains flexibility across a wide temperature range. Its lamellar strain relief grips the cable evenly, preventing pull-out and reducing stress on connections. The light grey colour blends seamlessly into modern electrical enclosures, and the halogen-free formulation supports safer fire behaviour. With a compact design and standard M12 thread, it fits a wide range of equipment and enclosures.

Ideal use cases

• Industrial machinery and control cabinets
• Electrical installations in buildings
• Sensor and actuator wiring
• Outdoor equipment with protected exposure
• Automation and robotics

Good to know

The gland is designed for indoor use or protected outdoor applications. It offers good UV resistance for sheltered environments, but prolonged direct sunlight may affect long-term performance. For installation, drill a mounting hole of 12.1–12.5 mm and tighten the gland using a 15 mm wrench. The product is compliant with RoHS and REACH, ensuring it meets current environmental standards. Each unit is sold individually, with bulk packaging available for larger projects.
