Snap In Pig Tail Cable Glands

Snap-in pig tail cable glands, also known as cordgrip pig tail glands, flex protect cable glands, or nylon pigtail cable glands, are advanced strain relief solutions designed to provide secure cable entry with integrated bend protection. These innovative cable glands feature a unique pig tail or spiral section that guides cables through slight bends whilst preventing kinking and damage from repetitive movement. Manufactured from high-quality Nylon 6/6 with Buna N sealing components, these snap-in cord grips combine the convenience of tool-free installation with superior vibration resistance and kink protection, making them essential for applications where cables require gentle directional changes without compromising performance.

Across UK industrial sectors, snap-in pig tail cable glands are extensively used in automation equipment, control panels, appliances, and machinery where cables must navigate around obstacles or through confined spaces without stress damage. Their primary advantage lies in the integrated pig tail design that prevents sharp bends whilst maintaining secure panel mounting through snap-in installation without requiring locknuts or additional tools. The ratchet sealing mechanism ensures excellent vibration resistance whilst the UL94V-2 flame rating and temperature range from -18°C to 105°C make them suitable for demanding industrial environments throughout the UK.
