Ilme RX02TM HNM hood modular frame for 2 units Size 57.27

Why Choose the ILME RX02TM HNM Hood Modular Frame?

The ILME RX02TM is a robust HNM modular frame for 2 MIXO modular units, designed for industrial multipole connector systems where frequent connection and disconnection cycles are required. Part of ILME's HNM High Number of Matings range, the frame provides secure retention and accurate positioning of modular inserts within compatible ILME hoods and housings.

Manufactured from die-cast zinc alloy, the RX02TM combines mechanical strength with protective earth continuity for demanding machinery, automation and industrial connectivity applications. It is supplied with a lock-in tab for securing the modular units and incorporates frame polarisation to support correct connector assembly.

The RX02TM accommodates 2 MIXO modular units and is designed for enclosure size 44.27, with a principal frame dimension of approximately 44 mm. When combined with ILME HNM enclosures, the system is designed for at least 10,000 mating cycles, making it particularly suitable for equipment that requires substantially more connection cycles than conventional heavy-duty industrial connectors.

Key Advantages

• Designed for 2 ILME MIXO modular inserts.

High Number of Matings for Modular Industrial Connectors

ILME's HNM system is engineered for applications where industrial connectors must be connected and disconnected substantially more frequently than standard connector assemblies. When the RX02TM frame is combined with a compatible HNM enclosure, the connector system is designed to achieve at least 10,000 mating cycles. Compatible standard single-lever enclosures can provide at least 5,000 mating cycles with the HNM frame.

Although RX02TM is conventionally designated as the frame type for hoods, ILME specifies that this designation does not restrict it exclusively to hood installation. The frame can be mounted in either a hood or housing, provided a complete modular connector coupling contains the required complementary M and F frame types. This flexibility, together with the MIXO modular architecture, allows engineers to configure connectors combining different electrical and signal functions within a single industrial interface.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machinery requiring frequent connector mating cycles.
• ILME MIXO modular connector assemblies.
• Factory automation and robotic equipment.
• Test, measurement and production equipment.
• Machine tooling and interchangeable machinery modules.
• Industrial control and power distribution connections.
• Maintenance-intensive equipment requiring repeated disconnection.
