Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5534BLK) is a liquid-tight, industrial-grade strain relief solution designed for 1/2" NPT threaded openings. This straight male connector secures cables with diameters between 14.27mm and 15.88mm (0.562"–0.625"), providing superior strain relief and environmental sealing in demanding applications. Constructed with a Valox® polyester body and a high-quality rubber grommet, the 5534BLK withstands impact, corrosion, UV exposure, and temperatures from -40°C to 105°C, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments. The compression nut, made from zinc-plated steel, delivers a secure mechanical connection, while the white nylon washer prevents loosening over time. The rubber grommet is chemically resistant and engineered to minimize cord pull-out, reducing the risk of cable damage. With a Type 6P environmental rating (NEMA 6P when used with the correct NPT-sized O-ring), this strain relief grip is ideal for applications requiring protection against moisture, dust, and contaminants. It holds UL File No. E76954 and CSA File No. LR32159 certifications, meeting rigorous safety and performance standards. Common applications include control panels, push-button enclosures, industrial machinery, and automation systems where reliable cable management is critical. The 5534BLK is compatible with flexible cords and offers a straightforward installation process, making it a preferred choice for engineers and technicians seeking a durable, low-maintenance solution. Trusted by professionals in manufacturing and industrial settings, the MAX-LOC® series exemplifies Woodhead’s commitment to innovation and reliability in electrical components.
