How the "BIN" push-in cable gland saves you almost half the time

In industrial and plant engineering contexts, execution speed is a strategic variable. The installation phase, particularly in repetitive operations such as wiring, significantly impacts overall project costs, the productivity of technical teams and the reliability of the system.

The EZ Series cable gland offered by Elektrozubehör meets the real needs of installers, panel builders and OEMs by dramatically reducing assembly times without sacrificing the cable's mechanical and electrical protection, while ensuring a perfect hermetic seal.

Thanks to the quick-snap fastening system, the solution saves almost half the time compared to traditional screw-in cable glands, while still delivering sealing in line with the highest IP standards, effective strain relief and full integration with common metric thread systems.

What are quick-snap cable glands and what distinguishes them from other solutions

The EZ Series cable gland part of the EZ series is a technical component designed to manage and protect electrical cables in industrial environments, featuring a distinctive feature that sets it apart in its class: the quick-snap system.

Made of self-extinguishing PA6 V2 polyamide with a chloroprene flat-ring gasket, it offers high performance in terms of reliability, safety and mounting speed.

Unlike traditional cable glands, the EZ Series cable gland does not require a locknut or threaded holes. Fastening is achieved through an innovative snap-in technology that locks the cable gland in place with a simple press. This mechanical system significantly reduces installation time, eliminates the need for tools and minimizes the likelihood of assembly errors.

The internal gasket ensures effective sealing over a wide range of cable diameters. At the same time, the outer body - thanks to the integrated compression spring - provides a stable, vibration-resistant connection, ideal even for heavy-duty conditions. In addition, its compact size makes it suitable for installation in confined spaces or on panels with high wiring density.

Below are the main technical features of the EZ Series quick-snap cable gland:

Gasket: -S (lamellar clamping), -CP ("onion" style).
Fastening system: quick-snap with locking action. Mounting is performed by a simple snap-in from the outside followed by manual rotation to match panel thickness: a practical concept summarized as "push & tight."
Protection rating: IP68 for high resistance to dust and temporary immersion.
Fire behavior: flame-retardant and self-extinguishing UL94-V2.
Operating temperature range: from –20 °C to +100 °C (peaks –30 °C / +150 °C).
Supported cable diameters: variable by version, with adaptive gaskets for cable diameters between 2 and 38 mm.
Standards and certifications: VDE (EN 62444), UL (UL 514B, CSA C22.2 Nr. 18.3-12 and 94.2-15), c-CSA-us (CSA C22.2), DNV (EN 62444), GOST (we recommend contacting our technical department for further details based on the requested cable gland size).
Mounting: on smooth panels or standard holes, with no need for threading. Can be mounted on plastic or metal panels with thicknesses from 0.5 mm up to 4 mm.

All these features make the EZ Series quick-snap cable gland an ideal solution for systems where fast intervention, reduced labor costs and installation safety are fundamental criteria. Its versatility makes it suitable for multiple sectors, including those with stringent regulatory requirements or frequent maintenance needs.

Real savings with the quick-snap cable gland: up to 50% on installation time

Thanks to its effective quick-snap system, the EZ Series cable gland can save up to 50% of the time compared to traditional cable glands, optimizing the wiring process.

With traditional cable glands (which, as is well known, must be screwed in), installation involves several steps: the hole must be threaded or accessible from both sides for locknut fastening; tools are required and tightening demands care to ensure effective, long-lasting sealing.

By contrast, the quick-snap cable gland is installed from the outside of the panel or enclosure with a simple snap-in and manual rotation that adapts to the panel thickness: no threading is needed, no tools are required and locking takes place in seconds. This simplification results in a clear reduction in operating times, which is particularly relevant in high-density wiring contexts, such as switchgear, machine-mounted systems and retrofit work.

Moreover, the speed of cable installation does not compromise quality: sealing is guaranteed up to IP66/IP68, even under critical environmental conditions. The EZ Series cable gland's structure ensures perfect mechanical and environmental protection, reducing stress on the cable and preventing loosening over time.

Choosing the quick-snap cable gland from the Elektrozubehör catalog means saving time in cable installation and achieving greater efficiency at every stage of the work, with a positive impact both operationally and economically.

The many applications of the EZ Series quick-snap cable gland

The quick-snap cable gland can be used wherever installation speed and reliable mechanical and environmental sealing are essential. The combination of quick snap-in action, locking and IP66/IP68 protection makes the component particularly suitable for dynamic, high-density systems, where every minute saved translates into increased productivity.

In industrial systems, the product can be successfully used on machine equipment, inside compact switchgear or in multiservice systems where the number of cable entries is high and working space is limited.

The ability to install the cable gland without a locknut and without rear access enables faster wiring, even in pre-assembled cabinets or retrofits on existing systems.

In civil and infrastructure environments, its use extends to temporary electrical worksites and multi-sector installations that require continuous protection of electrical cables against dust, liquids and mechanical stress, with quick interventions on variable configurations.
