Seal sws for cable terminals





Caution! Always use the correct size of seal to match the cable.

A seal must always be used for cable terminals with the designation sws.
How to identify a cable terminal that requires a seal:
- If there is a hole or slot (see arrow in illustration) in the insulation wings a seal must be used.




Seals are used where the cables are exposed to aggressive environmental factors and there is a risk of moisture penetration in the housing cavities.
The rubber-based seals prevent oxidation and retain moisture proof properties even when subjected to heavy vibration and extremes of temperature.
The seals are crimped round the cable at the insulation wings on the cable terminal.
The seals have different colors which are coded according to size as shown in the table below.











Plug




Plugs are used to close the unused cavities in a moisture proof housing.
A plug is in principle like a seal but without a hole in it for a cable.
