Earth Bonding

Earth Bonding

The Glenair Earth bonding system is a fast, effective and reliable means of creating an attachment to metallic structures. It creates an equipotential bond between equipment for the passage of high intensity current in case of short circuit. Suitable where lightning strike protection is required, for EMC where low resistance electrical connections must be maintained, and in hazardous areas where naked flame is not permitted.

Electrical Contacts

Electrical Contacts

Glenair brings a new perspective to the supply of high-performance Mil-Spec and commercial electrical contacts: High Availability! Whether you need a standard duty socket contact for a MIL-DTL-28840 connector or a short-run of shielded Quadrax, we have you covered with products that are always in stock

Glenair offer direct equivalents to the hand, bench and battery operated crimp tools for Indent and Open Frame Applications. All tools, with exception of the HX23, can be operated by finger or with optional foot pedal (HX23 comes with foot pedal and bench mount as standard). Bench mounts are available. All tools utilise the standard hand tool die or positioner/turret head

Safe-T-Cable

Safe-T-Cable

The Safe-T-Cable® system is comprised of various lengths of high tensile, pre-twisted, stainless steel cable with a fitting at on end, and a ferrule, which may be terminated at any point along the length of the cable. The precision installation tool and its accessories allow the user to verify the calibration, and easily install the Safe-T-Cable® in any location in which it is required.

Twist-Strip™

Twist-Strip™

Stripping multi-conductor wire cable is often done by hand with a razor blade. This is a dangerous and difficult way to remove the jacket from any type of electrical cable. The DMC Twist-Strip™ products have adjustable blades that allow the tool to accommodate variances in the cable. The repeatable function of the tool reduces operator error and is up to 3 to 5 times faster than conventional methods.
