Screw fastening would reduce the mounting volume of the terminal case considerably. But the trick is enabling screw fastening while retaining the ability to use C-Clamp compression too.


The cable glands are fine but there's a mounting issue where the aluminum is too thick for the short mounting thread of the cable gland. Also a multi-cable issue associated with fact that a cable gland can only seal properly with a single cable.
