MHO16X32 Ilme Hood 2 levers side entry M32 Size 77.27

Why Choose the ILME MHO16X32 Side Entry Hood?

The ILME MHO16X32 is a robust heavy-duty rectangular connector hood designed for reliable multipole electrical connections in industrial machinery, automation and control applications. Part of the established ILME C-TYPE series, it combines a size 77.27 enclosure format with an integrated two-lever closing system for secure industrial connector assemblies.

The MHO16X32 features 2 locking levers manufactured from stainless steel and polyamide (PA). These integrated levers engage with the pegs of a compatible ILME housing, providing secure mechanical mating while allowing convenient connection and disconnection during installation, commissioning and maintenance.

Featuring a single M32 side cable entry, the MHO16X32 supports practical horizontal cable routing where space above the connector is restricted. The hood is supplied without a gasket and, when correctly assembled with compatible ILME components and a suitable cable gland, the complete enclosure system provides IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection across an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C.

Reliable Lever-Locking Connections for Industrial Equipment

Heavy-duty connector hoods such as the ILME MHO16X32 provide mechanical and environmental protection around compatible electrical inserts, contacts and cable terminations. Its M32 side-entry configuration allows the cable to leave the connector horizontally, making it particularly useful where vertical clearance is limited or machinery cable routing favours a right-angle arrangement.

The two integrated levers on the MHO16X32 engage with the locking pegs of a compatible ILME housing to provide secure mechanical mating. When the hood is correctly assembled with suitable enclosure components and an appropriate M32 cable gland, the complete connector system can achieve IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection for dependable service in demanding industrial environments.
