Various end housings with strain relief, Pg and M threads, angle adapters, shrink sleeve connections and the adapter solution for the well-known Pflitsch UNI Dicht cable gland system make the Toughcon circular connectors customisable. Schlicker guarantees consistently high quality ‘Made in Germany’.

An back sshell with integrated Pflitsch cable gland and application-specific sealing inserts for different cable diameters is available to ensure a secure cable outlet at the plug or socket. Sealing, strain relief, bending protection and connection to protective conduits and corrugated conduits are thus easily possible. The cable gland is based on the well-known Pflitsch UNI Dicht modular system. Customised cable entry solutions can be created with application-specific sealing inserts and pressure screws.
