V. Selection Guide: How to Choose the Right G-INS Gland

Follow this 4-step process to select the optimal G-INS cable gland for your application:

Step 1: Determine Thread Requirement

  • Check enclosure specifications for metric (M) or PG thread standard
  • Confirm thread size (M11 to M40, PG9 to PG29) based on cable diameter and enclosure design

Step 2: Match Cable Diameter

Cable Diameter Recommended Thread Sizes
4–8 mm PG9, M11
5–11 mm PG11
6–12 mm PG11.5, M16
8–14 mm M20
10–16 mm PG16
11–17 mm M25
18–25 mm PG21
20–28 mm M32
22–32 mm PG29, M40
28–38 mm M40 (large seal)

Step 3: Select Function & Color

  • Standard applications: PNES function code (PA housing, GY/BK colors)
  • Special requirements: NNES (brass housing, silver color) for EMC shielding or enhanced durability
  • Visual system coding: Choose colors to differentiate voltage levels, signal types, or system zones

Step 4: Consider Seal Type

  • S68N: Standard seal for typical applications
  • M68N: Medium seal for enhanced protection in harsh environments
  • L68N: Long seal for larger cable diameters or extended strain relief needs
