NEW VERSATILE CABLE ENTRY PLATE F


oremost Electronics, the engineering- led Essex based importer and specialist


distributor of electromechanical components announces the availability of the icotek new KEL-SCDP single cable entry plate. This simple to install and use grommet provides a very wide cable diameter clamping range from 5 to 36mm. The KEL-SCDP cable entry grommet


allows single cables, hoses, and conduits without plugs to be routed through panels and sealed with a rating of IP65. Rigid cables may be installed at angles and for railway technology applications there is a version approved for use in in accordance with EN45545-2 HL3. Once fitted to a panel, routing a cable


is a very simple three step process with no special tools required. A small hole is pierced between the different diameter sealing rings, the single circular membrane is then peeled away to accommodate the specific diameter of the cable or hose to be inserted which is then pushed through the hole. The peeled-off area is always round, ensuring a secure seal around the cable or hose. The KEL-SCDP is a very simple snap-in mount on to panels or enclosures and


can be plugged into cut-outs with wall thicknesses from 1.5 to 4.0 mm. without having to use any tools. Four panel cut out nominal diameters of 25, 32, 40 and 50mm are available and once installed it provides perfect edge protection and sealing to IP65. Manufactured from grey (similar in


colour to RAL 7035) UL94-V0, self- extinguishing, halogen and silicone free, elastomer the gland has an operating

gainst the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic, the Harting


Technology Group has taken numerous measures to protect its employees on the one hand, while ensuring that customers continue to benefit from a reliable supply of Harting products and solutions on the other. "The protection of employees, but also maintaining the supply chain, is our top priority," as Philip Harting, CEO of the Harting Technology Group underscored. Harting supplies renowned manufacturers of medical and respiratory equipment with customer-specific cable assemblies. Working under high pressure, several


German manufacturers are currently producing the devices on which patients and doctors are urgently dependent in the coronavirus pandemic. Harting has aligned its internal processes so as to supply these medical device manufacturers as quickly as possible. For years now, Harting has been manufacturing complete connectivity system solutions for these devices. The

current high and short-term requirements and the maintenance of the associated supply chain present major challenges for all parts of the company. At Harting, securing the supply of the required components takes priority over all other activities.


EXTENSIVE RULES OF CONDUCT AND HYGIENE All manufacturing, storage and delivery functions are secured by separation in


space and time as well as a multitude of hygiene measures. Where expedient and sensible, many employees are already working from their home office. In addition, Harting started to ramp up its stock levels weeks ago in order to be able to respond in the best possible way to any supply chain disruptions. Specially formed back-up teams serve to safeguard key areas when necessary. A corona task force and a pandemic


team coordinate all necessary measures. "We are experiencing something that


is absolutely unprecedented in this form. And we don't know when the nightmare of the ‘Corona pandemic’ will end and what challenges still lie ahead. One thing is certain, we are doing everything we can to protect our employees and help our customers wherever possible," Philip Harting went on to emphasise.
