How to Install an M16 Cable Gland
Installing a cable gland correctly is critical to maintaining waterproof performance. Follow these steps:
- Drill a hole in the enclosure to match the gland thread diameter (about 16mm).
- Insert the gland body through the hole from the outside.
- Pass the cable through the gland and ensure the sealing ring grips the cable tightly.
- Tighten the cap until secure, providing strain relief and a sealed fit.
Tip: Always check that your cable diameter falls within the gland’s supported range (4–8mm for M16).
Choosing the Right Cable Gland Size
Proper sizing is essential for optimal performance. Here’s a quick reference:
| Gland Size | Clamping Range | Thread Outer Diameter |
|---|---|---|
| M12 | 3–6.5mm | 12mm |
| M16 | 4–8mm | 16mm |
| M20 | 6–12mm | 20mm |
| M25 | 9–16mm | 25mm |
Always confirm your cable’s outer diameter before selecting a gland.
