Automotive Engineering & eMobility

Whether on-road or off-road - in automotive engineering, icotek cable entry products are used when cables have to be routed into the vehicle interior or have to be fed out of the vehicle body. icotek cable entry components are also used for (partially) integrated control and fuse boxes. Whether it is for construction machinery, agricultural machinery and equipment, fire trucks, special transport vehicles, snow groomers, buses and coaches, ... icotek offers highly efficient and economical solutions for every field of application in commercial vehicle construction. icotek products are also widely used in charging infrastructure (e.g. charge columns) for eMobility.

» Split cable entry systems and » cable glands by icotek enable a fast, safe and cost-effective way to feed cables with connectors (e.g. circular multi-pin connectors, signal connectors, sensor connectors...) or cable protection conduits through the vehicle floor, body or roof (e.g. for warning devices) without voiding the warranty of the cables. icotek split cable entry components also seal the entry points with up to IP66/IP68 and UL type 4X rated protection and provide strain relief according to EN 62444.

Cables without connectors as well as pneumatic and hydraulic hoses can be routed through » membrane based multi-cable entry plates which provide up to IP66/IP68 and UL type 4X rated protection.

For automotive applications with lower ingress protection requirements icotek offers » brush plates and brush strips for round and rectangular cut-outs.

Our cable entry components fit on rectangular or round metric cut-outs from M16 to M85. For installation icotek offers suitable » knockout tools and punches.
