Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5502) is a rugged, liquid-tight cable management solution designed for industrial environments. This straight male strain relief grip features a 3/8" NPT threaded connection and accommodates cables with diameters between 4.75mm and 6.35mm (0.187" to 0.250"). Engineered for durability, the unit combines a corrosion-resistant nylon body with a rubber grommet that provides a NEMA 6P-rated seal when used with the optional O-ring and locknut. The zinc-plated steel compression nut and neoprene O-ring (when ordered) enhance vibration resistance and prevent cable pull-out, making it ideal for dynamic applications such as robotic systems, conveyor belts, and automated machinery. The grommet is color-coded orange for easy identification and is chemically resistant, handling a wide temperature range for use in food processing, chemical facilities, and heavy machinery. With a Type 3R rating without the O-ring and Type 6P with the O-ring/locknut, this strain relief grip meets stringent environmental standards for both indoor and outdoor installations. The modular design allows for easy grommet replacement, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Trusted by engineers worldwide, the MAX-LOC® series from Woodhead (a Molex company) delivers reliable cable strain relief and environmental sealing for critical electrical connections in demanding industrial applications.
