Why Choose the ILME TAPH16.40 Hygienic Thermoplastic Surface Mounting Housing?
The ILME TAPH16.40 is a hygienic thermoplastic surface mounting housing designed for heavy-duty rectangular connectors used in food, beverage and other hygiene-sensitive industrial environments. Part of the ILME T-TYPE /H series, this high-construction housing combines a durable polypropylene enclosure with two locking levers and a single M40 threaded cable entry.
Designed with hygienic machinery applications in mind, the TAPH16.40 uses a polypropylene body and HNBR sealing gasket, providing a corrosion-resistant alternative to conventional metal connector enclosures. The smooth thermoplastic construction is particularly suited to installations where equipment is regularly exposed to cleaning processes, moisture and demanding production conditions.
The TAPH16.40 is an ILME size 77.27 surface mounting housing with two locking levers and high construction for additional internal space. ILME specifies IP66 / IP69 protection for the enclosure when correctly assembled with compatible components, while the larger M40 cable entry accommodates suitable M40 glands for industrial cabling.

Hygienic Connector Protection with an M40 Cable Entry
Industrial connectors used on food-processing and hygiene-sensitive machinery can be exposed to frequent cleaning, moisture and aggressive production conditions. The ILME TAPH16.40 addresses these requirements with a polypropylene thermoplastic body, HNBR sealing and high ingress protection, creating a robust enclosure for compatible heavy-duty connector inserts.
Compared with the M32 TAPH16.32 version, the TAPH16.40 features a larger M40 cable entry, making it suitable where the installation requires a compatible larger cable gland or cable diameter. Its high-construction size 77.27 format provides a versatile enclosure for power, control and signal connections while retaining the hygienic characteristics of the ILME T-TYPE /H range.
Typical Applications
