Overview

Mencom PCG-21-BS is a PG21 metric plastic cable gland with integrated flex strain relief, designed for secure cable entry in industrial enclosures. The gland accommodates cable diameters from 0.512 to 0.708 inches (13 to 18 mm) and provides IP68 protection against dust ingress and water immersion up to 100 meters for continuous operation. The flexible strain relief reduces mechanical stress on cables, extending service life in dynamic or vibrating environments. Compatible with standard PG21 metric threads, this gland is ideal for automation, control panels, and machinery where reliable sealing and strain protection are critical. Mencom’s PCG series offers a broad selection of glands in metric, PG, and NPT thread types, with matching sealing grommets available for metric and PG openings. The black polyamide construction ensures chemical resistance and UV stability, while the modular design simplifies installation and replacement. Use in control cabinets, junction boxes, and field wiring applications where IP68-rated ingress protection and strain relief are required.
