Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5540M) is a precision-engineered cable management solution designed for industrial environments requiring robust cable protection and environmental sealing. This 3/4" NPT straight male fitting features a stainless steel mesh collar that delivers superior pull-out resistance and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for harsh indoor and outdoor applications. The mesh weave (half double, half single) provides 50% improved cable protection compared to standard designs, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding conditions. Key specifications include compatibility with cable diameters from 14.27mm to 17.45mm (0.562" to 0.687"), a liquid-tight NEMA 6P rating when used with the correct NPT-sized O-ring, and hazardous location certifications (Class I, Division 2; Class II, Divisions 1 & 2; Class III, Divisions 1 & 2). The nylon body resists impact and corrosion, while the rubber grommet ensures chemical resistance and operates across a wide temperature range. The compression nut and zinc-plated steel washer provide secure mechanical fastening. Applications include industrial machinery, automation systems, control panels, and enclosures requiring NEMA 4 or 6P protection. The color-coded grommet (green for this size range) enables quick identification during installation or maintenance. The stainless steel mesh option offers high strength and slight conductivity, while non-metallic mesh alternatives provide moderate strength with no conductivity for specialized applications. UL File No. E76954 and CSA File No. LR32159 certifications validate compliance with North American safety standards.
