Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip, identified by SKU 5520, offers a robust and liquid-tight method for securing and safeguarding cables within industrial and commercial enclosures. This strain relief grip is engineered with a 1/2" NPT straight male connection, facilitating straightforward integration into existing conduit systems. It is specifically designed to accommodate a precise range of cable diameters, accepting cables measuring between 3.18mm and 4.75mm, which is equivalent to 0.125 inches to 0.187 inches. The construction of the MAX-LOC® series emphasizes durability and performance, featuring a body crafted from resilient nylon and a sealing grommet made of rubber. This combination is instrumental in providing exceptional strain relief, effectively minimizing the risk of cord pull-out and thereby preventing potential cable damage, even when subjected to demanding environmental conditions. For enhanced visibility and ease of installation, the grommet is distinguished by its yellow color-coding. Furthermore, the inclusion of a neoprene O-ring is crucial for establishing a dependable liquid-tight seal, provided it is utilized in conjunction with the appropriate locknut. When properly equipped with the O-ring and locknut, this strain relief grip achieves a NEMA 6P rating, signifying its suitability for applications requiring significant protection against water ingress. Its design makes it an ideal component for a variety of equipment, including machinery, control panels, and other industrial apparatus where maintaining the integrity of cable connections is paramount. To further bolster its longevity and resistance to environmental factors, the grip incorporates a zinc-plated steel nut and a nylon washer, which contribute to enhanced corrosion resistance and overall durability. These features ensure its suitability for deployment in both indoor and outdoor operational settings. The MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip is also designed for compatibility with other MAX-LOC® accessories, offering expanded possibilities for additional sealing and secure locking configurations.
