Why Choose the ILME TAPH16.32 Hygienic Thermoplastic Surface Mounting Housing?
The ILME TAPH16.32 is a hygienic thermoplastic surface mounting housing designed for heavy-duty rectangular connectors used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other hygiene-sensitive industrial environments. Part of the ILME T-TYPE /H series, it combines a corrosion-resistant polypropylene enclosure with two locking levers and an M32 cable entry.
Designed specifically for hygienic production environments, the housing uses polypropylene (PP) construction together with an HNBR gasket. The two thermoplastic locking levers incorporate metal-detectable material, providing an additional benefit for applications where contamination control and foreign-body detection are important considerations.
The TAPH16.32 is a size 77.27 high-construction surface housing with an M32 threaded cable entry. When correctly assembled with compatible components, it provides IP66 / IP69 protection, making it particularly suitable for machinery and connector installations exposed to intensive cleaning, water jets and demanding hygienic operating conditions.

Hygienic Connector Protection for Demanding Production Environments
Industrial connectors installed in food processing and other hygiene-sensitive environments can be exposed to frequent cleaning, moisture, detergents and high-pressure washdown procedures. The ILME TAPH16.32 addresses these requirements with corrosion-resistant thermoplastic construction, an HNBR sealing system and an IP66 / IP69 protection level when the complete connector assembly is correctly installed.
The housing's two metal-detectable thermoplastic levers provide secure closure while supporting the requirements of hygienic production environments. Its size 77.27 format accommodates a broad range of compatible ILME multipole inserts, making the TAPH16.32 suitable for carrying power, control and signal connections on industrial machinery while retaining a hygienic enclosure design.
