Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® 5540SS Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU 5540SS) is a straight male, 3/4" NPT fitting engineered for secure cable management in industrial enclosures. Designed for cable diameters from 14.27mm to 17.45mm (0.562" to 0.687"), this strain relief grip combines a durable stainless steel mesh with a corrosion-resistant nylon compression nut to anchor and seal flexible cords effectively. The integrated rubber grommet provides a liquid-tight seal (NEMA 6P when paired with the correct NPT-sized O-ring and locknut), protecting electrical connections from moisture, dust, and environmental contaminants. The half double weave, half single weave stainless steel mesh delivers high tensile strength and abrasion resistance, while the nylon body ensures impact and corrosion resistance. Ideal for electrical boxes, cabinets, push-button enclosures, and general-purpose applications, the 5540SS is optimized for medium-duty power and control cables. Its design reduces cord pull-out under tension, safeguarding conductors from damage during flexing and movement. Trusted by industrial operators, the MAX-LOC® series ensures operational efficiency and safety in demanding environments.
