Overview

The ABB BCG-M252 is a nickel-plated brass non-armoured cable gland engineered for secure cable termination in industrial installations. This gland is specifically designed for M25 threaded entries with an 8mm thread length, accommodating cable outer diameters between 9mm and 16mm. The nickel plating enhances corrosion resistance, making it ideal for harsh environments such as chemical plants, marine applications, and outdoor installations where moisture and contaminants are prevalent. Constructed from brass, the BCG-M252 delivers consistent mechanical strength and thermal stability, ensuring reliable seal integrity under vibration and temperature cycling. The gland provides effective strain relief for non-armoured cables, maintaining IP-rated ingress protection when properly installed. Typical applications include control panels, junction boxes, and machine enclosures across manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure sectors where dependable cable management is critical. Key specifications include an M25x1.5 thread size with an 8mm thread length, a cable clamping range of 9-16mm, and a nominal dimension set optimized for standard enclosure entries. The brass construction ensures durability and compatibility with a wide range of industrial environments, while the nickel plating extends service life in corrosive conditions. Installation is straightforward, requiring no specialized tools beyond standard equipment for threaded entries. This cable gland is part of ABB's Installation Products line, designed to meet the demands of industrial cable management with precision and reliability. It is optimized for non-armoured cables, providing a secure and stable termination point that prevents cable pull-out and maintains electrical continuity. The BCG-M252 is a cost-effective solution for applications requiring robust, long-lasting cable gland performance without the need for additional armouring.
