Why Choose the Ilme MAO16.32 Side Entry Hood?
The Ilme MAO16.32 is a robust industrial multipole connector hood designed for secure cable termination and environmental protection in machinery, automation and control applications. Featuring 4 locking pegs, a side-entry M32 cable connection and Ilme size 77.27 construction, it provides a dependable enclosure for compatible inserts and mating housings.
The MAO16.32 uses a high-construction metallic hood design to provide additional internal space for cable routing and conductor termination. Its die-cast aluminium construction with protective coating gives the hood the mechanical strength required for demanding industrial installations, while the side cable entry helps simplify cable management where top-entry routing is impractical.
When correctly assembled with compatible Ilme components, the MAO16.32 supports IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection. With an operating temperature range of approximately -40 °C to +125 °C, it is well suited to industrial environments exposed to dust, moisture and challenging operating conditions.
