Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5538) from Molex is a rugged industrial-grade strain relief solution designed for secure cable management in enclosures, cabinets, and control panels. Engineered for Type 3R (without O-ring) and Type 6P (with O-ring/locknut) environmental ratings, this grip accommodates cable diameters from 12.70mm to 15.88mm (0.500" to 0.625"), ensuring a precise fit for industrial cables. The nylon body resists impact, corrosion, and harsh conditions, while the integrated rubber grommet provides a liquid-tight seal to prevent moisture, dust, and contaminants from entering enclosures. The zinc-plated steel compression nut and neoprene O-ring (when ordered with the O-ring/locknut option) enhance chemical resistance and temperature stability. The gray cord grip body and white washer simplify installation and maintenance. Ideal for automation systems, electrical enclosures, and industrial machinery, the MAX-LOC® series delivers reliable strain relief and environmental protection with compliance to NEMA 6P standards. Backed by UL File No. E76954 and CSA File No. LR32159, this product is a trusted choice for engineers and technicians seeking durable, long-term cable management solutions.
