Lapp offers the patented SKINTOP® line of liquid-tight, strain relief connectors designed for use with a wide range of cables in automated manufacturing systems.

The year 2003 marks the 25th anniversary of SKINTOP®. From 1977, when the first SKINTOP® entered the market, to 2003 when new approvals continue to enhance the product’s worldwide leadership position.

Available in PG, NPT and Metric thread sizes, as well as a dome top and flex version for additional strain-relief, SKINTOP® nylon cord grips have a patented design for ease of use. With international approvals such as UL, CSA, VDE and SEV, and effective May 2003, NEMA 6, the SKINTOP® is recognized around the world as an excellent way of securing a cable connection. A chemical resistant version (SKINTOP® CR) is also available.

In addition to the nylon versions, the metallic SKINTOP® line has recently obtained UL and NEMA 6 approvals. Made of nickel-plated brass with a neoprene bushing, these cord grips are ideally suited for use in applications where durability is required.

Also receiving UL and NEMA 6 approvals is the SKINTOP® MS-SC cable grounding connector. This connector is intended for use with shielded cables, to solve EMI/RFI concerns.
