Different rubber grommet profiles serve different functions. Choose the required function first, then verify dimensions, compound and installation requirements.
Common profile distinctions
- Open grommets provide a passage for a cable or tube while covering the panel edge.
- Closed grommets or plugs cover unused openings.
- Shaped grommets fit corresponding noncircular cutouts.
- Grommet edging lines suitable panel edges and contours.
A thick profile or colored compound does not automatically add sealing, strain relief or a certified performance rating. Those requirements must be specified and supported for the selected part.
Custom requirements
If a unique profile is needed, provide a customer drawing or existing sample. We review manufacturability and quotation requirements, including tooling, sampling and production. Confirm any required tests and documentation before proceeding.
