Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip, SKU 5538NM, offers robust cable management and protection for industrial applications. This non-metallic mesh grip features a 3/4" NPT straight male connection, ensuring a secure interface with enclosures. It is designed for cable diameters ranging from 12.70mm to 15.88mm (0.500" to 0.625"), providing defense against mechanical stress and environmental ingress. The MAX-LOC® series is known for its rugged construction. The non-metallic mesh offers flexibility and resistance to corrosion and impact. An integrated rubber grommet creates a liquid-tight seal, preventing dust and moisture ingress, crucial for maintaining electrical connection integrity and preventing equipment failure. This seal also reduces cord pull-out risk. Key features include durable non-metallic mesh for corrosion and impact resistance, a liquid-tight seal meeting NEMA 6P (with O-ring/locknut), secure strain relief to prevent cable damage, and versatile cable compatibility. The 3/4" NPT straight male connection facilitates easy installation into standard threaded openings. Suitable for general use enclosures, pushbutton stations, and control panels. The nylon body is impact and corrosion-resistant. UL File No.: E76954, CSA File No.: LR32159. The grommet color for this specific model is Gray, as indicated by the catalog data for the 12.70-15.88mm (.500-.625") non-metallic mesh variant (5548NM).
