MAO16X40 Ilme Hood 2 levers side entry M40 Size 77.27
Ilme MAO16X40 is a high-construction size 77.27 aluminium industrial multipole connector hood with two locking levers, an M40 side cable entry and IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection when correctly assembled.
Why Choose the Ilme MAO16X40 Hood?
The Ilme MAO16X40 is a robust industrial multipole connector hood designed for reliable electrical connections in machinery, automation and control applications. Featuring a size 77.27 interface, two locking levers and an M40 side cable entry, it provides a durable enclosure for compatible Ilme connector inserts and mating components.
Manufactured from aluminium, the MAO16X40 combines mechanical strength with a practical high-construction format for demanding industrial installations. Its two-lever locking arrangement provides secure mating with compatible connector components, while the metal construction makes the hood suitable for repeated use in professional machinery and equipment.
The high-construction design provides additional internal space for cable routing and termination, while the M40 side entry allows larger cables or suitable cable glands to approach the connector horizontally. The MAO16X40 is supplied without a gasket and, when correctly assembled with compatible Ilme components, supports IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Multipole Connections
Industrial connector hoods provide mechanical and environmental protection for connector inserts, contacts and cable terminations while creating a robust interface between cables and machinery. The Ilme MAO16X40 combines an aluminium enclosure with a two-lever locking system to provide a secure, serviceable connection when paired with compatible Ilme connector components.
Its high-construction body provides additional internal room for wiring and cable management, while the M40 side-entry configuration is particularly useful where cables need to approach horizontally or vertical clearance is restricted. This combination makes the MAO16X40 well suited to industrial installations requiring robust construction, convenient cable routing and high ingress protection from a correctly assembled connector system.
