Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip, SKU 5520C, is engineered for robust cable management in demanding industrial environments. This straight male connector features a 1/2" NPT thread, providing a secure and reliable interface for enclosures, junction boxes, and control panels. Designed to accommodate a cable diameter range of 1.57mm to 6.35mm (0.250"), it ensures a precise fit and exceptional strain relief, preventing premature cable failure and maintaining operational integrity. The MAX-LOC® series is renowned for its durable construction. The grip body and compression nut are crafted from impact and corrosion-resistant nylon, ensuring longevity even when exposed to harsh chemicals and challenging operating temperatures. A key component is the rubber grommet, which not only provides a liquid-tight seal, crucial for maintaining enclosure integrity and protecting sensitive equipment from moisture and dust ingress, but also significantly reduces the likelihood of cord pull-out under tension. This grommet is formulated to resist a wide range of chemicals and operate effectively across a broad temperature spectrum. This particular model, 5520C, is designed for applications requiring a liquid-tight seal, offering Type 3R protection without an O-ring and Type 6P protection when an O-ring and locknut are utilized (accessories sold separately). Its rugged design makes it suitable for general use enclosures, push-button stations, and machinery where consistent cable security is paramount. The straight male configuration simplifies installation into threaded ports, ensuring a straightforward setup process for maintenance and production teams. Woodhead, a trusted name in industrial electrical components, delivers the MAX-LOC® series with a commitment to quality and performance. By investing in strain relief grips like the 5520C, industrial facilities can enhance the safety, reliability, and lifespan of their electrical systems. This grip is an essential component for applications in automation, manufacturing, food processing, and any sector where cable protection and environmental sealing are critical considerations. Key Features and Benefits: * **Rugged Construction:** Suitable for boxes, cabinets, push-button stations, and general use enclosures. * **Durable Materials:** Nylon body offers superior resistance to impact and corrosion. Rubber grommet is chemical-resistant and handles a wide temperature range. * **Liquid-Tight Seal:** The rubber grommet creates a secure seal, protecting against moisture and dust. * **Superior Strain Relief:** Effectively reduces cord pull-out, preventing cable damage and ensuring connection integrity. * **Versatile Cable Compatibility:** Accommodates a wide cable diameter range from 1.57mm to 6.35mm (0.250"). * **Standard NPT Connection:** Features a 1/2" NPT straight male thread for easy integration into threaded openings. * **Environmental Ratings:** Achieves Type 3R rating without an O-ring and Type 6P rating with an O-ring and locknut for enhanced protection. Choosing the right strain relief grip is vital for maintaining the operational efficiency and safety of industrial equipment. The Woodhead MAX-LOC® 5520C offers a reliable, durable, and effective solution for securing and protecting flexible cords in challenging environments.
