Why Choose the ILME MHP32.40 C-TYPE Surface Mounting Housing?

The ILME MHP32.40, manufacturer part number MHP 32.40, is a heavy-duty industrial rectangular connector surface mounting housing designed for large multipole electrical connections in machinery, automation and industrial equipment. Part of the ILME C-TYPE enclosure series, it provides a robust fixed mounting point for compatible connector inserts and detachable cable-mounted hoods.

This housing features 2 locking levers for secure coupling with a compatible ILME hood fitted with four locking pegs. Its M40 cable entry provides a practical route for larger industrial cables, conduit or a suitable metric cable gland, while the size 77.62 enclosure format supports larger connector assemblies using two insert positions.

The MHP32.40 is designed for demanding industrial environments where reliable mechanical coupling and protection of electrical terminations are essential. When correctly assembled with compatible ILME components and suitable cable entry accessories, the C-TYPE enclosure system provides IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection against dust and water ingress.

Heavy-Duty Protection for Large Multipole Connections

ILME size 77.62 surface mounting housings are designed for larger connector assemblies where multiple circuits need to be combined within one robust rectangular enclosure. This format can accommodate compatible double-insert arrangements, making it particularly useful for machinery requiring substantial numbers of power, control or signal contacts at a single connection point.
