LAPP lead-free brass cable glands

LAPP’s lead-free brass cable glands are designed to help ensure manufacturers, machine builders, and production automation engineers and operators achieve compliance with current and forthcoming global sustainability requirements. The offering of cable glands in a lead-free brass version is in response to increasing restrictions on lead use.

Initially, the most popular LAPP cable glands will be available in the lead-free version, with first products including the SKINTOP MS-M and MS-SC-M models, as well as the counter nut SKINDICHT SM-M SKINTOP MS-M, which is used in a wide range of applications in machine and plant construction, measurement, control and regulation technology, and where there are tough demands in terms of mechanical and chemical stability. The SKINTOP MS-SC-M EMC cable gland, with highly conductive, flexible EMC contact spring, has a low-resistance screen contact for EMC-compliant earthing of the braided shield. All of these versions are available in metric sizes M12 to M63. Further product groups are gradually being supplemented with lead-free versions.

LAPP laboratory and external testing institutions have confirmed that the properties of the latest products are comparable with the current versions. This applies to the mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and EMC properties. The lead-free versions also comply with protection class IP68.
