Flat solutions

The latest icotek KEL cable entry systems available from M Buttkereit are designed to secure and positively seal flat cabling when passing through bulkhead apertures associated with machine building or control panel assemblies.

The system comprises polyamide rigid frames, each with two hole fixing, which can be supplied in four sizes to accommodate a range of flat cables and including additional round cables in the larger frames if required. These frames are used in conjunction with captive elastomer inserts, which provide cable strain relief as well as cable sealing to IP54.

The company says assembly time and costs can be saved. The products are suitable for cable assemblies with large or moulded-on plugs and connectors, which would otherwise require remedial wiring before installation.
