# Industrial Specification: Cable Gland / Connector

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical device used to securely attach and seal electrical cables to equipment housings while providing strain relief and environmental protection.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-1000 NÂ·m torque, -40Â°C to +120Â°C temperature, IP68 ingress protection rating**. Failure boundary: **Seal compression loss at 1500 NÂ·m torque, polymer degradation at 140Â°C, seal failure at 10 bar differential pressure**, Mechanism: **Elastomer compression set exceeding 25% at elevated temperatures, stress relaxation in polymer seals, galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals (aluminum housing vs. stainless steel components)**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Vibration-induced fretting at 50-200 Hz resonance frequency | 8 | Seal compression loss leading to IP rating degradation from IP68 to IP54 | Anti-vibration locking mechanism with 15 NÂ·m minimum locking torque, silicone damping inserts |
| Thermal cycling between -40Â°C and +120Â°C at 5 cycles/hour | 8 | Polymer seal hardening with Shore A hardness increase from 70 to 90 | Fluoroelastomer seals with 300% elongation retention, thermal expansion compensation design with 0.15 mm clearance |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| spec | Config-dependent | mm | Verified |

- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are available for cable glands in electronic manufacturing?
**A**: Our cable glands are available in nylon, stainless steel, brass, and aluminum to suit different environmental requirements and applications in computer and optical product manufacturing.

### Q: How does a cable gland provide environmental protection?
**A**: Cable glands create a secure seal between cables and equipment housings using compression rings and sealing gaskets, preventing dust, moisture, and contaminants from entering while providing strain relief.

### Q: What components are included in a standard cable gland BOM?
**A**: A complete cable gland assembly includes a gland body, gland nut, compression ring/clamp, locking washer, and sealing ring/gasket to ensure proper installation and protection.
