Overview

The Woodhead MAX-LOC® Strain Relief Cord-Sealing Grip (SKU: 5542) is a 3/4" NPT straight male connector designed for cables with diameters ranging from 15.88mm to 19.05mm (0.625" to 0.750"). This industrial-grade strain relief grip provides robust cable protection and environmental sealing in demanding applications, including control panels, machinery, and outdoor enclosures. The nylon body is resistant to impact and corrosion, while the rubber grommet delivers a liquid-tight seal to prevent moisture, dust, and contaminants from entering the enclosure. The grommet is color-coded orange for easy identification and is chemically resistant, handling a wide temperature range for reliable performance in harsh environments. The compression nut design allows for tool-free adjustments and easy installation, reducing downtime during maintenance or cable replacement. When ordered with the locknut and neoprene O-ring, the connector achieves a Type 6P rating for superior protection in wet or hazardous conditions. Without the O-ring, it meets Type 3R standards for less demanding applications. The zinc-plated steel nut ensures corrosion resistance, and the half double weave, half single weave mesh provides moderate strength and flexibility. This strain relief grip is widely used in manufacturing, automation, robotics, and industrial equipment where cable integrity is critical. It is UL File No. E76954 and CSA File No. LR32159 compliant, making it a trusted choice for engineers and technicians seeking a durable, high-performance solution for cable management in both indoor and outdoor settings.
