Product Overview

Oblong rubber grommets fit elongated openings where a wire route needs a rubber interface along the panel edge. The custom profile should follow the straight portions and curved ends of the cutout while accommodating the wires passing through it. Length, width, and retaining groove dimensions need to be coordinated with the finished panel.

An elongated opening can give wiring more room in one direction, but the grommet still needs even support around the perimeter. Do not pull the rubber along its long axis to compensate for an oversized cutout. Check the curved ends and the less visible side of the retaining lip after fitting, then inspect again once the wire route is secured.

Select the bore arrangement for the actual wire bundle and its approach to the panel. A sharp bend immediately at the exit can pull the grommet away from the edge it is meant to cover. Material and hardness should suit the surrounding exposure and installation access. Keep the panel edge smooth and remove debris before assembly so that the rubber and wire jacket do not trap abrasive particles between them.

Material options: Custom rubber compound and color, selected for the contact conditions and required geometry.
Hardness range: 30–90 Shore A for rubber. Assess the grade against this fit requirement: A sharp bend immediately at the exit can pull the grommet away from the edge it is meant to cover.
Custom profile & fit: Length, width, and retaining groove dimensions need to be coordinated with the finished panel.
Assembly considerations: Check the curved ends and the less visible side of the retaining lip after fitting, then inspect again once the wire route is secured.
Design check: Select the bore arrangement for the actual wire bundle and its approach to the panel.

Ordering this custom component

Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?

Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.

Which details should be agreed before tooling?

Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.

Can a sample help define the replacement?

A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.

How is the quotation for this part determined?

The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
