The Helavia A5x35-C JV rubber grommets from Ses-Sterling are specifically designed for use in electrical and installation technology. They serve as a
cable gland for secure and tight fixation of cables in switch cabinets, distribution boxes, or other electrical enclosures. The grommets are finished in the colour
yellow/green, identifying them as earth or protective conductor cables and making them clearly identifiable within electrical installation systems. The designation A5x35-C JV refers to the technical dimensions and specific design of the grommet, with the marking “JV” indicating suitability for certain application areas.
Applications
These rubber grommets are suitable for use in electrical installations, particularly where secure and tight cable guidance through enclosure walls is required. They are commonly used in distribution boxes, switch enclosures, or other enclosed electrical devices to ensure mechanical strength of cable connections while simultaneously providing electrical insulation and protection against environmental influences such as dust or moisture. The yellow/green colouring is specified by standards for protective conductors, allowing the grommets to be directly integrated into earthing line installations.
Functions and Features in Detail
The grommet features a
rubber- or
elastomer coating, enabling a flexible yet tight fit around cables. The inner diameter and length are dimensioned to ensure secure guidance of cables with a diameter of approximately 5 mm to 35 mm. The shape of the grommet allows for easy installation by inserting the cable and then screwing it in place, with the elastic structure creating a tight seal. The yellow/green colour is not only visually identifiable but also complies with regulations for protective conductors in electrical installations.
Technology Explained Simply
The grommet is made from an elastic material that expands when the cable is inserted and then contracts back, creating a secure fit and tight seal. The elastic property ensures that no air or moisture can enter even with minor movements or vibrations during operation. The material composition is designed to withstand temperatures from -30 °C to +90 °C, enabling use in a wide range of environments, including industrial or outdoor installations. The grommet is not designed for direct contact with aggressive chemicals or solvents, as this could impair material strength.
The grommet is available in a pack of 100 pieces, making it suitable for large-scale installations or series mounting. The weight per piece is 1.75 g, indicating a compact and lightweight construction.
Compatibility and Accessories
The Helavia A5x35-C JV rubber grommets are compatible with standard cables in the diameter range of 5 mm to 35 mm. They are used in electrical switch cabinets and distributors that feature a corresponding hole or mounting opening for the grommet. The grommets are not supplied with additional tools or accessories; installation is performed by simply inserting the cable and screwing it in place.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by inserting the cable into the grommet and then screwing it into the designated hole in the enclosure. The elastic structure of the grommet ensures the cable is securely held and a tight seal is created. The grommet is not intended for use in moving or highly vibrating systems, as this could reduce its service life. Installation requires no special tools, only a screwdriver or suitable screw clamp.
Operational Advantages
The grommet provides reliable and tight cable guidance, ensuring electrical insulation and offering mechanical protection. The yellow/green colouring supports compliance with standards and facilitates identification of protective conductors. The temperature resistance from -30 °C to +90 °C makes the grommet suitable for a wide range of operating conditions. The simple installation and high availability in packs of 100 pieces make it a practical solution for series installations.
