How to Install the WMG-PC5 Strain Relief Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for assembling and installing the WMG-PC5 wire mesh grip strain relief connector onto a cable or cord, ensuring proper strain relief and connection.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Flat nose pliers

Supplies needed:

Cord, Cable, Wire mesh grip, Compression gland nut, Bushing, Connector body, Enclosure

  1. Prepare Connector Components

    Disassemble and remove the original retaining ring from the connector. If a replacement gland nut is supplied with the grip, also remove the original gland nut from the connector.

  2. Prepare the Cord

    Cut the end of the cord squarely to ensure a clean and proper fit.

  3. Slide Gland Nut onto Cord

    Slide the compression gland nut onto the prepared cord, ensuring it is oriented correctly for later assembly.

  4. Install Wire Mesh Grip

    Compress the wire mesh grip and slide it onto the cable. If installing on cords of maximum diameter, slightly preform the wire mesh loops using flat nose pliers to ensure a proper fit.

  5. Slide Bushing onto Cord

    Slide the bushing onto the cord, positioning it after the wire mesh grip.

  6. Secure Connector Body

    Secure the connector body to the enclosure if you are using threaded hub applications. For knockout applications, you may complete the full assembly before installing it to the enclosure.

  7. Insert Cord Through Body

    Insert the cord through the connector body until the conductors reach their desired working length. In some installations, the cord jacket may need to be stripped back to allow it to pass through the body.

  8. Seat Bushing into Body

    Slide the bushing firmly into the connector body, ensuring it is properly seated.

  9. Position Wire Mesh

    Slide the wire mesh along the cord until it lays flat and evenly against the bushing.

  10. Tighten Gland Nut

    Slide the compression gland nut along the mesh and firmly tighten it onto the connector body. Ensure all slack is removed from the mesh by smoothing it out along the cord for secure strain relief.
