Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® 5531M is a 90° angle male strain relief cord-sealing grip constructed from durable 304 stainless steel, designed for secure cable entry and environmental protection in industrial applications. This fitting features a 1/2" NPT threaded connection and is engineered to accommodate flexible cables with diameters ranging from 11.10mm to 12.70mm (0.437" to 0.500"). The MAX-LOC® system provides reliable strain relief, preventing cable pull-out and reducing stress at the point of entry by up to 50% compared to standard fittings. The integrated EPDM rubber grommet ensures a liquid-tight seal, offering protection against moisture, dust, and contaminants to IP68 standards when properly installed. When used with an optional Viton® O-ring (sold separately), it achieves a Type 6P environmental rating for submersion and high-pressure washdowns. Without the O-ring, it meets Type 3R for general outdoor use. The nylon 6/6 compression nut and stainless steel washer contribute to impact resistance and ease of installation, allowing for tool-free assembly in tight spaces. The 90° angle design optimizes space in compact enclosures and reduces cable bending stress by distributing load across a larger surface area. Woodhead, a Molex brand, ensures compliance with UL 50E, UL 514B, CSA C22.2 No. 18.3, and RoHS standards. The fitting is rated for operating temperatures from -40°C to +105°C (-40°F to +221°F) and supports cable pull-out forces exceeding 150N. Ideal for use in control panels, automation systems, heavy machinery, and outdoor electrical enclosures, the 5531M provides a durable, corrosion-resistant solution for demanding environments.
