Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5531NM) is a precision-engineered cable management solution designed for industrial environments where secure cable retention and environmental sealing are critical. This 90° angle male fitting features a 1/2" NPT threaded connection, making it ideal for installations requiring a right-angle entry into enclosures, junction boxes, or control panels. The non-metallic mesh construction provides moderate strength and excellent flexibility while maintaining zero conductivity, making it suitable for data cables, control wiring, and low-voltage power applications. The rubber grommet delivers a liquid-tight seal rated to NEMA 6P when paired with the correct O-ring, protecting against dust, moisture, and contaminants in harsh industrial settings. With a cable diameter range of 11.10–12.70mm (0.437–0.500"), this grip accommodates a wide variety of cable types while ensuring consistent strain relief and pull-out resistance. The color-coded grommet system (orange for this size range) simplifies identification during installation and maintenance. Constructed from impact- and corrosion-resistant nylon, the 5531NM withstands exposure to chemicals, extreme temperatures, and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term reliability in machinery, automation systems, and outdoor enclosures. Its modular design allows for easy replacement of grommets and components, reducing downtime during upgrades or repairs. Certified to UL E76954 and CSA LR32159 standards, this product meets stringent safety and performance requirements for industrial applications.
