Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5523M) from Molex is a field-proven industrial solution engineered for secure cable management in harsh environments. This 90° angle male connector features a 1/2" NPT threaded interface with an integrated neoprene O-ring to deliver a liquid-tight seal rated to NEMA 6P when paired with the locknut. Designed for cable diameters between 4.75mm and 6.35mm (0.187" to 0.250"), the grip prevents cable pull-out while maintaining electrical integrity under vibration and mechanical stress. Constructed from high-strength stainless steel and nylon components, the 5523M resists corrosion, impact, and chemical exposure—ideal for washdown areas, outdoor installations, and food processing facilities. The zinc-plated steel compression nut ensures reliable mechanical fastening, while the nylon body provides additional durability. The grommet is color-coded orange for easy identification of compatible cable sizes. Typical applications include industrial automation systems, electrical enclosures, push-button stations, control cabinets, and machinery where cables are exposed to environmental hazards or mechanical stress. The 90° angle design optimizes space in tight enclosures and reduces bending stress on the cable, extending service life. Maintenance is simplified with accessible grommet and O-ring components, allowing quick servicing without disassembling the entire system. Compliance with NEMA Type 3R and Type 6P ratings ensures protection against dust, moisture, and contaminants. The MAX-LOC® series reflects Woodhead’s century-long expertise in industrial connectivity, offering a robust, field-proven solution for professionals prioritizing reliability and long-term performance in cable management systems.
