What is this called?

"Strain relief" or "cable gland," maybe.

Gland.

Wire Gland.

Of course it is. Yet somehow how I couldn't remember that all day. Must be getting old.

Thanks.

My pet peeve is, you can't find glands for really small-diameter cables. We're forced to add a heat-shrink layer or two, and the whole thing with its nut, etc., ends up way too large.

A strain relief. But the type you posted a pic of is a watertight variety.

So... an IP 67 or an IP 68 Strain relief / pass thru / gland.

Find and get and use "Pneumatic" tubing fittings. Way more expensive and usually made of brass, but plenty of plastic versions too.

But wait! Allied rules!

Yep, way too large.

how small do you need?

-m100-m120/

Or bushing.

This one is smaller:

More smaller: Click on part number for drawings.

Which dimension do you consider to be too large? Hole size? Diameter? Thread?

Pick one from each column: cable gland cord feedthrough wire grip bundle retainer tubing strain relief power entry bushing As far as I can tell from random searching, most every combination is in use by at least one company or organization.

Also known as a "connector eliminator" by cost cutting and design review committees.

A quarter inch! ? Oh, yo are talking about the fitting itself being to big a profile on one or the other or both sides of the barrier.

Then you should simply use the capacitor EMI shielded pass thru parts!

Very expensive from that guy though!

Since Phil revealed that you're a naturist, the guys in this group are all over you.

Most people here have probably already seen a female body. Some will drool and leer anyhow. She's a better engineer than Phil, or probably than you.

Is your name really Corvod? Sounds Irish.

You can purchase them here:

Well then, you should have followed up Phil's post with that! He doesn't frighten you, does he?

Don't tell me, tell Phil.

Post something about electronics and we'll see.
