Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip, identified by SKU 5518W, is a product from Molex designed to deliver robust cable protection in demanding industrial environments. This particular model is a straight male grip, featuring a 1/2" NPT connection. Integral to its design is a neoprene O-ring, which, when paired with the correct locknut, establishes a liquid-tight seal that meets the NEMA 6P rating. The construction of the 5518W incorporates a corrosion-resistant nylon body and a rubber grommet. These materials are specifically chosen for their resilience against impact, chemical exposure, and a broad spectrum of operating temperatures. A key function of this grip is its ability to significantly reduce cord pull-out, thereby enhancing cable longevity and operational reliability. The 5518W is engineered to accommodate a specific range of cable diameters, from 1.57mm to 3.18mm, which is equivalent to .062 inches to .125 inches. This MAX-LOC® series grip is versatile and well-suited for integration into various enclosures, including electrical boxes, control cabinets, pushbutton stations, and general-purpose enclosures. Its application ensures dependable strain relief and effective environmental sealing. The product holds certifications from UL File No. E76954 and CSA File No. LR32159, underscoring its adherence to industry safety and performance standards. The standard color for the grommet on this model is black. Installation of the 5518W is designed to be straightforward, employing a compression nut mechanism that facilitates secure and reliable assembly. This strain relief connector represents a dependable solution for maintaining the integrity of cables within critical systems such as manufacturing, automation, and instrumentation.
