KBAU6MBNCWCLE

Overview

The KBAU6MBNCWCLE is an ATEX-certified cable gland manufactured by Hoffman Enclosures, Inc. It features a brass body with nickel plating and utilizes an M63 thread size. The component is designed for hazardous area applications, specifically suitable for Zone 1, 2, 21, or 22 environments. It provides strain relief, sealing, and secure entry of cables into enclosures or electrical equipment. The cable diameter range accommodates sizes from 1.57 to 2.05 inches (approximately 40 to 52 mm).

Feature Summary

• Provides strain relief and sealing for cables in hazardous locations.
• Constructed from brass with a nickel-plated finish.
• Certified for use in explosive gas atmospheres under ATEX and IEC standards.

Applications

• Secure entry of cables into enclosures in Zone 1 hazardous areas.
• Cable protection in Zone 2 hazardous locations.
• Equipment installation in Zone 21 dust explosion zones.
• Applications requiring certified strain relief in Zone 22 environments.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific hazardous zone classification of the installation site matches the ATEX and IEC certifications listed for this component. Confirm that the cable outer diameter falls within the specified range of 1.57 to 2.05 inches to ensure proper sealing and mechanical retention. Ensure the M63 thread size is compatible with the enclosure entry point.

Selection Notes

Select this model when ATEX certification is mandatory for the operational environment. The M63 thread size dictates compatibility with large-diameter cables. The brass construction with nickel plating offers corrosion resistance suitable for industrial settings. Consider the specific zone requirements (1, 2, 21, or 22) to ensure regulatory compliance for the intended application.
