Alternative to conventional EMC cable glands
04 September 2018
Based on its cable entry frames, icotek now offers frames with EMC shielding. The frames for cable entry are highly conductive and metallised. They are entirely factory painted with a scratch resistant coat.

The corresponding cable grommets EMC-KT from the manufacturer are made of conductive elastomer. Screen- as well as field-related disturbances are derived directly via the grommet and the frame. Between the EMC-KEL and the metal wall, a conductive flat gasket (included in delivery) is also mounted. Depending on the application, a degree of protection of IP66 can be achieved. Mounting variants are varied and individually changeable. The EMC-KEL ensures a 360 ° contact of the cable shield.
The EMC cable entry frame is an alternative to the conventional EMC cable gland. Due to the high packing density, valuable space is saved compared to the EMC cable gland. Only one breakout in the housing wall is required. The product can be combined with various other icotek products and is available in different sizes.
