Using Breathable Cable Gland or Ventilation Vent Plug against condensation water
When you choose a highly protective enclosure, e.g, Junction or terminal boxes, you think you can do it once and for all.
In the end it turned out that the internal equipment was still the equipment suffers and rusts.
How did the water come from, under such a high level of protection?
It’s time to pay attention to the problem of condensation water.
Condensate is generally produced when the temperature changes.
Such as the equipment is in operation or the heat during the daytime, the temperature and pressure in the box will increase.
If the air in the enclosure cools down and there is no pressure equalization, condensation will form, which can no longer escape and cause losing of IP feature of the products.
The perfect solution is to use Breathable Cable Gland or Ventilation Vent Plug.
How Breathable Cable Gland or Ventilation Vent Plug work?
There have porous membrane is inside Breathable Cable Gland and Air Vent Plug,
the water and dust cannot ingress the membrane, but it can ensures the circulation of air while maintaining the tightness.
What’s more, the Breathable Cable Gland and Ventilation Vent Plug are designed for one-way air flow that allows heat and pressure to exit the box but prevents moisture from coming back in.

It’s necessary to know what is an IP rating mean before select correct Metal Cable Glands.
The IP (Ingress Protection) Rating of a Metal Cable Glands indicates whether a product can withstand water or dust penetration.
And the rating consists of the letters IP followed by two digits, The first number denotes foreign body ingress protection, the second moisture.
The higher the number the better the protection.Sometimes a number is replaced by X, which indicates that the enclosure is not rated for that specification.
In general ,you can refers to the level of sealing effectiveness as defined in IEC 60529 (Formerly BS EN 60529:1992) to check the IP rating of Metal Cable Glands.
The most common IP rating are probably 65,66,67 and 68 in Metal Cable Glands.
These are defined below for your quick reference.
When used in a nautical environment, a Marine Cable Gland is wrapped around the shaft of the boat's propeller.
Since most boat propellers are submerged in water, liquids can easily cause propeller failure without a Marine Cable Gland, which is why a marine cable gland is required.
For steam engines, Marine Cable Gland is strategically placed within the piston area.
The main purpose of a steam case is to prevent cylinder steam from leaking into the engine.
Since steam engines produce large amounts of steam, this type of prevention is not possible without proper sealants. If steam enters the engine area, the engine may stop working.
Like the marine case, the steam engine Marine Cable Gland allows the engine to work without the risk of water or steam damage.
In addition, Marine Cable Gland have been widely used in shipbuilding, power distribution cabinet manufacturers, rolling stock, bridges, electric power and communications and many other industries.
These have some tips as below, when you choosing a Marine Cable Gland:
1. Checking whether the Marine Cable Gland is flat and smooth. The edges should be free of sharp corners, burrs, cracks and nicks.
2. The surface of the Marine Cable Gland should be galvanized and passivated.
3. There shall be no slippage or looseness when the Marine Cable Gland is tightened.
4. Pay attention to the protection level of the Marine Cable Gland.

Strain Relief Cable Glands means the cable gland designed with spiral flexible protector.
It offers maximum protection against conductor fatigue caused by flexing cables.
Due to it looks like as a spring, also known as spring cable gland.
And it widely used in many fields such as industrial, instrument, machine, chemical, explosion-proof area, etc.
The materials of Strain Relief Cable Glands
Strain Relief Cable Glands come in a number of different materials, such as brass nickel-plated , plastic and stainless steel.
In general, metal is more durable, but plastic is more economical.
You can consider according to needed, choose the Strain Relief Cable Glands of corresponding material.
The installation method of Strain Relief Cable Glands
Strain Relief Cable Glands is threaded and is usually provided with a nut , there have two methods for installation.
One option is to make a threaded hole to fit the size being used and simply thread it into the panel.
The other method is to determine the diameter of the cutout hole and use a Strain Relief Cable Glands which is close to the size of the hole. The lock nut will secure it to the panel.
After proper installation, the Strain Relief Cable Glands feature a spiral flex that allow free range of movement while still holding the cables securely in place. And using with O ring can achieve a better protection degree.
Jixiang Connector have been supplying high quality Strain Relief Cable Glands for many years and have a wide customer base all over the world.
