Why Choose the ILME MAO16.40 C-TYPE Hood?
The ILME MAO16.40, also referenced as MAO 16.40 and MAO1640, is a C-TYPE heavy-duty connector hood designed for industrial multipole connector applications. Built in ILME size 77.27, it features a high-construction design that provides additional internal space for cable termination and compatible connector inserts.
The MAO16.40 incorporates four locking pegs for mating with compatible ILME enclosures and has a single M40 side cable entry. This side-entry arrangement provides a practical cable routing solution for machinery, automation equipment and installations where cable access from the top of the connector would be inconvenient.
Manufactured with an aluminium enclosure and finished in RAL 7040 grey, the MAO16.40 provides IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection when correctly assembled with compatible components. Its wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C further supports dependable use across demanding industrial environments.

High-Construction Protection for Industrial Multipole Connections
Heavy-duty connector hoods provide mechanical and environmental protection around multipole connector inserts while also creating a secure cable entry point. The high-construction format of the MAO16.40 provides increased internal space, making it particularly useful where cable routing, conductor termination or the selected insert requires additional room inside the connector enclosure.
The combination of a size 77.27 interface, four locking pegs and an M40 side entry makes the MAO16.40 a versatile enclosure for compatible ILME connector systems. When correctly assembled, its IP65 / IP66 / IP69 protection levels make it suitable for industrial installations where dust, moisture and washdown conditions must be considered.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery multipole connections.
- Factory automation equipment.
- Machine building and OEM equipment.
- Control panel and electrical cabinet connections.
- Manufacturing and processing machinery.
- Industrial power, control and signal connections.
- Equipment requiring side-entry cable routing.
