Seal Tight Connectors vs. Line Bushings
February 15, 2024
Seal tight connectors, also referred to as Sealtite connectors are electrical cable glands used in hazardous locations. Wire or cable passes through the center of the fitting with a locking nut that tightens to the outside diameter of the cable jacket. Various configurations are available, each with hazardous area ratings. Seal tight connectors offer a […]

Mastering Cable Potting: Hermetic Seals for Demanding Applications
January 8, 2024
Cable potting involves encasing conductors in an epoxy, liquid, or gel within an enclosure or feedthrough housing. Douglas Electrical Components employs a proprietary hermetic epoxy to seal wire and cable feedthroughs requiring cable potting. Cable potting is often done in-house by OEM’s or through some Douglas competitors. Differences can arise in the potting encapsulation compound, […]

Wire Feedthroughs and Line Bushings Versus Conduit Cement Compound
December 15, 2023
Douglas Electrical Components wire feedthroughs and line bushings are often compared to wire feedthroughs that are hermetically sealed using conduit cement within a metal housing. Conduit cement is a traditional bonding substance for sealing electrical systems and conduits whereas epoxy in wire feedthroughs and line bushings can be more suitable for preventing the entry of […]

Explosion-proof Wire Bushing For Hazardous Locations
August 29, 2023
To design safe, electrical systems for hazardous locations, pay close attention to each and every electrical component that you use—including wire bushings. It may be easy to overlook explosion-proof wire bushings or conduit sealing hubs since they’re typically just one, seemingly minor part of a more complex electrical system. Yet, these components actually play an outsized […]
