Ground continuity cage nut
Ground continuity cage nut
The ground continuity cage nut is designed with a special cage that encloses the square nut inside, preventing it from rotating during tightening. This feature maintains the integrity of the electrical connection. By preventing rotation, the cage nut ensures a strong, continuous connection.
An uninterrupted ground connection
What sets the ground continuity cage nut apart are the bent corners of its cage. When you tighten the screw, these angles penetrate directly into the paint or surface layer of the substrate, ensuring reliable contact. This eliminates any unwanted electrical resistance and maintains an uninterrupted earth connection.
Note that it can be manufactured in a variety of materials depending on the specific requirements of your application. It can be supplied in zinc-plated steel or stainless steel.
Easy installation for a wide range of applications
Installation of the ground continuity cage nut is just as simple as that of its standard counterpart. Simply place the cage on the threaded rod, screw on and let the bent corners do their job.
The nut is particularly useful in demanding environments where electrical conductivity is paramount. It is commonly used in the automotive industry and in electrical and electronic equipment. They are also found in critical infrastructures where electrical reliability cannot be compromised.
In conclusion, the ground continuity cage nut is an essential component for ensuring a reliable electrical connection with ground continuity. Its ingenious design, ease of installation and versatility make it a wise choice for demanding electrical applications.
