Cable glands with metric connection thread
With the taking of effect of European standard EN 50 262 – metric cable glands for electric installation – the Europe-wide introduction of the metric
ISO fine thread in cable glands took place on 01.01.2000.
The EN 60 423 standard lists the individual thread sizes. The previously-known thread sizes PG 7 to PG 48 (10 sizes) were replaced by the metric
sizes M 12 to M 63 (8 sizes). This catalogue contains a large selection of metric cable glands Ex cables and cable entries for use in hazardous areas.
