Why Choose the ILME MGV16.40 IP68 Top Entry Hood?
The ILME MGV16.40 is a robust heavy-duty rectangular connector hood designed to protect multipole electrical connections in demanding industrial environments. Part of the specialist ILME IP68 enclosure series, it combines die-cast aluminium construction, secure screw locking and a straight top-entry configuration for machinery, automation, transport and infrastructure applications.
The MGV16.40 uses a 2-screw locking system for secure mating with compatible ILME IP68 housings. Unlike the MGV16.40B bayonet-locking variant, the MGV16.40 employs screw locking to provide dependable mechanical retention for industrial connector assemblies where a robust and securely closed connection is required.
Featuring a single top-entry M40 cable opening and size 77.27 enclosure format, the MGV16.40 provides straight cable routing from the connector assembly while accommodating compatible ILME multipole inserts. When correctly assembled with compatible components and a suitable cable gland, the enclosure system provides IP66, IP68 and IP69 protection.
