Datasheet

The icotek EMC-KVT-DS, said to be the world’s first split EMC cable gland for preassembled cables of thread size M32 is available at distributor Foremost Electronics. It also provides IP54 protection for use in extreme outdoor conditions.

The new EMC-KVT-DS Split EMC cable gland is based on the standard icotek KVT product with the addition of a galvanised coating to create a conductive surface.

Featuring two cable grommets, the KT (small) is used for strain relief and ingress protection up to IP54 on the cable jacket while the second EMC-KT (small) makes contact with the cable shield over a full 360 degrees reliably diverting EMC disturbances via earthing achieved by an EMC locknut.

Key features of the icotek EMC-KVT-DS include use with pre-terminated cables as connector does not have to be removed for assembly, integrated strain relief, and 360° contact to the cable shield ensures both conducted and field-bound EMC disturbances can be reliably diverted.

Other features are EMC grommets made entirely from conductive elastomer, very good dissipation values, excellent shielding effect with regard to EMC tightness, very attractive and scratch-resistant surface.

Alan Vincent, Sales Director of Foremost Electronics, comments;” icotek offer a very wide range of innovative cable access and EMC shielding products which greatly simplify system assembly for panel builders and integrators.”
