Plastic cable glands

The solid alternative to metal

With our SKINTOP® plastic cable glands, your cable is affixed, centered, hermetically sealed and has optimum strain relief. The cable glands are available with metric, PG and NPT connection threads. Alternatively, threadless SKINTOP® CLICK cable glands are also available. In addition to the classic areas of application in control cabinets and production plants, you will also find cable glands for special applications such as photovoltaics, explosive atmospheres or halogen-free applications.

What is a plastic cable gland?


Just like metal cable glands, plastic cable glands have the primary aim of safely inserting a cable into the housing of a machine or control cabinet.

The cable glands discussed on this page are single-entries, i.e. they only introduce a single cable. The cable is strain relieved and optimally sealed.

How are plastic cable glands sealed?

Sizes up to and including M 32 have integrated sealing lips at the entry point to the housing, which deform during assembly in such a way that they already enable a very high seal on smooth housing surfaces (IP 68/69). For larger metric thread sizes, O-rings are typically used to securely seal the housing side.

Sealing rings on the cable side ensure optimum sealing of the cable.

With plastic cable glands from the SKINTOP® brand, the cable is centered, fixed and strain relieved in just one step, offering high protection ratings!

Plastic or brass?


When are plastic cable glands suitable?

To produce the plastic cable glands, we rely on polyamide, a polymer with outstanding mechanical strength and solid resistance to mineral oil-based oils. Plastics are more cost-effective and also lighter than metals. Due to their varied benefits, they are used in numerous applications: in the industrial sector on control cabinets and production plants, in building installations, in shipbuilding and rail transport, in photovoltaic or wind turbines and in areas at risk of explosion.

Brass cable glands

What are the top properties of the plastic cable glands?


Single-entries made of plastic are very good when it comes to handling and guarantee a high level of ease of assembly. Most of our SKINTOP® products impress with the following properties:

Reliable vibration protection:

The cable gland remains securely locked even in applications where vibrations and shocks occur permanently.

Large, variable clamping ranges:

Highly flexible lamellae enable the use of different cable diameters with unimpeded strain relief.

2-way, trapezoidal thread on cap nut:

Compared to the 1-way thread, the cap nut travels a longer distance with small movements. As a result, the cap nut sits straight, is highly stable when tightened and can be closed quickly.

What do you need to consider when selecting a cable gland?


Find answers to the questions below

Then take a look at our portfolio to find the best cable gland for your specific application.

  • Which cable should be inserted? What clamping range is required?
  • Which connection thread should it be: metric, NPT, PG?
  • Which thread size is required for the specific application?
  • Are standards and certifications such as UL (CSA), DNV-GL, VDE, ATEX relevant?
  • In which temperature range should the cable gland be used?
  • What protection against foreign bodies and water is required (IP protection class)?
  • Is special bending protection required?

How do plastic-cable glands from LAPP differ?

SKINTOP® CLICK

A cable conduit that deserves a special presentation


The &® CLICK& in the sizes & – M32& is a threadless cable gland with an innovative snap-in system. The conventional method of fastening the cable gland to the housing is not a connection thread or lock nuts; the cable gland is simply clicked through a borehole using so-called “lock nose”. The housing wall may be 1-4 mm (0.039-0.156 in) thick. SKINTOP® CLICK is available in three different color, suitable for a wide temperature range, versatile resistance, seals in accordance with IP 68 and trumps with variable clamping ranges.

SKINTOP® CLICK

THe benefit to you: simply click in – turn to the left – turn to the right – done


Save time during installation

You can give the threaded borehole a miss and save up to 70% of the installation time.

Reduction of the number of components

You do not need a lock nut and thus reduce the number of your components.

Easy to assemble

You enjoy easy assembly in ANY position.

No special tool required

You do NOT NEED a special tool for installation and use the included tool for disassembly.
