Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® 5540NM Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5540NM) is a non-metallic mesh strain relief designed for industrial cable management. This straight male fitting features a 3/4" NPT threaded connection and accommodates flexible cords with diameters between 14.27mm and 17.45mm (0.562" to 0.687"). The grip combines a durable nylon body with a rubber grommet to create a liquid-tight seal, preventing moisture and contaminants from entering enclosures while reducing cord pull-out. The integrated grommet is chemically resistant and maintains sealing integrity across a wide temperature range, ensuring long-term performance in demanding conditions. The MAX-LOC® 5540NM is rated NEMA 6P when used with the correct NPT-sized O-ring and locknut, making it suitable for harsh environments where exposure to water, dust, and corrosive substances is a concern. Its non-metallic mesh construction provides moderate strength, corrosion resistance, and flexibility without conductivity, eliminating the risk of electrical interference or grounding issues. The strain relief is ideal for use in boxes, cabinets, push-button stations, and general enclosure applications where reliable cable protection is critical. The product is part of the MAX-LOC® series, known for robust cable sealing solutions in industrial settings. The nylon body ensures durability under mechanical stress, while the rubber grommet delivers consistent sealing performance across a broad temperature range. This combination makes the 5540NM a dependable choice for protecting cables in outdoor, washdown, or chemically aggressive environments.
