I have seen these on Tesla chargers and I know you guys are working on those. These photos are from a Tesla Rav4 battery pack I have sitting in my garage. I am wondering where you guys have found these grommets/glands/adapters for your charger projects. I need one for my battery pack.

They're not used on the Tesla Model S or Model X so I think you'll have to find a breaker who has the relevant car (or 3D print some?).

It looks like they used the same opening on the Gen 3 chargers.

They also appear to use them on junction boxes. https://www.ebay.com/itm/REAR-HIGH-VOLTAGE-JUNCTION-BOX-HVJB-1016561-00-A-TESLA-S-2013-/282738017165

Are these the parts you're looking for?

Wow interesting gland.

I dont know. I have never seen the actual gland before, only the hole. They seem to be reverse of what I need though. The hole is smaller towards the inside of the junction box. The gland opening on the outside of the junction box is larger than the inside. It looks like it would be very similar, just reversed from the one in your photo.

Where did you find this? What part does this go to? Wow!

I think I found the fittings. They are the lower fittings in the photo for this ebay auction. The one with a single silver ring around it.

I highly doubt I would be able to buy them anywhere though. Tesla isnt selling parts I have heard.

Hi, I was looking at those connection glands. It looks like your ebay find has the correct fittings. The ones with the o-ring for a sealed enclosure. It has the reduced diameter inside like the pic. you showed. I have three of the mercedes b250E drive units which are front wheel drive assemblies and there are quiet a few of these type waterproof glands.

You own some? Want to sell them? What size are they? The opening for the main lugs are around 1". The opening for the smaller lugs is about 5/8". I purchased 2/0 for the main and 2 awg for the smaller. If the glands fit those wires Id be interested in buying them. OD of the 2/0 is .666 and the 2 awg is .49
