Overview

The ABB BCG-M325 nickel-plated brass non-armoured cable gland is a precision-engineered termination solution for industrial electrical installations requiring secure, corrosion-resistant cable entry. Designed for cables with diameters between 18mm and 25mm, this M32x1.5 threaded gland provides a reliable seal while maintaining mechanical integrity in demanding environments. The 9mm thread length ensures proper engagement with standard enclosures, delivering consistent clamping force without cable damage. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, the BCG-M325 offers superior corrosion resistance compared to unplated brass, extending service life in wet, humid, or chemically aggressive conditions. The gland's design eliminates the need for armouring, reducing installation complexity and material costs while maintaining IP-rated protection when properly installed. Typical applications include control panels, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures where cable protection and environmental sealing are critical. The nickel plating provides additional surface hardness, resisting scratches and wear during installation or maintenance. With a clamping range optimized for 18-25mm cables, this gland accommodates common industrial cable sizes while maintaining a tight seal against dust and moisture ingress. The M32x1.5 metric thread ensures compatibility with standard electrical enclosures and equipment, making it a versatile choice for retrofits and new installations alike. Unlike armoured glands, the non-armoured design simplifies termination while maintaining adequate protection for most indoor and protected outdoor applications. The BCG-M325's dimensions (44.0mm body diameter, 44.5mm length) allow installation in tight spaces while providing sufficient clamping surface area for secure cable retention. This gland is particularly well-suited for applications where cable flexibility and bend radius must be preserved, as the non-armoured design avoids the stiffness associated with armoured cable systems.
