Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip, SKU 5540WBLK, is engineered for robust cable management and protection in demanding industrial environments. This straight male grip features a 3/4" NPT threaded connection, designed for secure integration into enclosures, junction boxes, and control panels. Its Polyester construction offers excellent resistance to impact and corrosion, ensuring long-term durability even under harsh operating conditions. The MAX-LOC® series is renowned for its superior sealing capabilities. This specific model incorporates a neoprene O-ring and a rubber grommet, which together provide a liquid-tight seal (Type 6P rating when used with an O-ring/locknut). This critical feature prevents the ingress of moisture, dust, and other contaminants, safeguarding sensitive electrical connections and maintaining operational integrity. The design also effectively reduces cord pull-out, providing essential strain relief to prevent damage to the cable and its internal conductors. Key features and benefits of the Woodhead MAX-LOC® 5540WBLK include: Rugged construction suitable for general use enclosures, boxes, cabinets, and push-button stations. Polyester body is resistant to impact and corrosion. Liquid-tight sealing achieved through a combination of a rubber grommet and a neoprene O-ring, providing a Type 6P rated seal. Strain relief effectively secures the cable, preventing pull-out and protecting against mechanical stress. Wide cable diameter range accommodates cables with diameters from 14.27mm to 17.45mm (.562-.687"), ensuring versatility for various cable sizes. The rubber grommet is designed to withstand exposure to various chemicals and handles a wide temperature range. This strain relief grip is an ideal choice for applications where reliable cable entry and protection are paramount, such as in manufacturing plants, outdoor electrical installations, and control systems. The 3/4" NPT thread size is a standard industrial fitting, facilitating easy installation into pre-tapped openings.
