Cable glands
The European Technical Standard
DIN EN 50 262
Metric cable glands for electric instal-
lations - the end of the PG–Cable
glands threads.
• The technical standards “Cable Glands
for cables and conductors with PG
standard threads” DIN 46320 (P1 - P4),
DIN 46255, DIN 46259, DIN 46319 and
DIN VDE 0619 became invalid on the
31 December 1999.
• Cable glands with PG threads are no
longer standard.
• The design approvals granted in accor-
dance with DIN VDE 0619: 1987 – 09
remained valid until 31.3.2001.
• The European Standard “Metric Cable
Glands for Electrical Installations” EN 50
262 became valid on 1.4.1999.
• The EN Standard EN 50 262 is manda-
tory in all member countries of the
European Union (EU) and associated
countries collaborating with CENELEC
(European Committee For
Electrotechnical Standardization) who
adopt the standard.
• That means that only metric cable
glands are permitted to be used in new
constructions as of 1.3.2001 in those
countries described above.
We offer cable glands as a well balanced
assortment for different applications.
• Cable glands made from plastic and
brass

• For hazardous areas in accordance with
EN 50014, EN 50019 and ATEX

Cable entries, for example for enclosures
or heavy duty connectors can be easily
and reliably installed.
