Moss Plastics Series, Bushings, Grommets

Bushings and grommets are commonly used to provide electrical insulation between an opening in a panel and any cables or wires that are inserted into the opening. They are designed to protect the cables and wires from damage due to abrasion or vibration, and to prevent them from coming into contact with the edges of the opening. In addition to providing insulation, bushings and grommets also help to hold the cables or wires securely in place within the opening, ensuring that they do not slip out or become disconnected. This is particularly important in applications where the cables or wires are subject to frequent movement or vibration. When selecting bushings and grommets, several characteristics should be considered, including the type of bushing/grommet, the thickness of the panel, the dimensions of the panel cutout, the diameter inside the opening, and the material from which the bushing or grommet is made. These factors will help to ensure that the chosen device is the right fit for the intended application and provides the necessary level of protection and support for the cables or wires. Overall, bushings and grommets are important components in many electrical systems, providing insulation and support for cables and wires, and helping to ensure reliable and safe operation.
