2a) Selection of the material [b]
All cable gland types are made from brass “b”. Other materials can also be provided upon request.
Consequently is
[b] = B
2b) Selection of the sealing material [c] based on the required temperature range
The cable glands can be ordered with either a neoprene seal “N” or a silicone seal “S”.
Glands with a neoprene seal can be used in a temperature range from -35 °C to +90 °C, whereas glands with silicone seal maintain a temperature range
from -60 °C to +180 °C. (KUB glands are certied to a temperature of -60 °C to +135 °C).
[Type] [c] Seal material
KDSU N,S Neoprene, Silicone
KDSW N,S Neoprene (with continuity for lead sheath), Silicone
KDSX S Silicone
KSG N,S Neoprene, Silicone
KUB N
Silicone (-60 °C to +135 °C)
Because the enclosure in the example case operates in a temperature range of -40 °C bis +45 °C, a cable gland with a silicone seal has to be used.
Consequently is
[c] = „S“ (Silicone)
2c) Selection of the plating [e]
All cable glands can be provided either with nickel plated surface “NI” or with self-coloured surface “SC”.
In the example case the enclosure is used outdoor, therefore it can come into contact with water in form of rain, so that a cable gland
with nickel plated surface as protection against corrosion and wear has to be selected. Consequently is [e] = „NI“

3. Selection of the entry thread [a], the cable outer sheath variant [f] and the gland size [ggg]

The suitable gland size [ggg] will be selected based on the inner and outer sheath diameters of the cable. Thereby the entry thread size [a] and
the cable outer sheath variant [f] result.
