Why Choose the ILME MGO16.40 IP68 Series Hood?
The ILME MGO16.40, also referenced as MGO 16.40 and MGO1640, is a robust IP68 series heavy-duty connector hood designed for demanding industrial multipole connector applications. Built around the ILME size 77.27 interface, it uses a screw-locking system to create a secure connection with compatible ILME housings.
The MGO16.40 features two stainless steel locking screws and a single M40 side cable entry. The side-entry arrangement supports convenient lateral cable routing in machinery, control cabinets and equipment where vertical cable clearance is restricted, while the screw-locking system is particularly suited to applications requiring a secure enclosure connection.
Manufactured from die-cast aluminium with a RAL 9005 black finish, the MGO16.40 provides IP66, IP68 and IP69 protection when correctly assembled with compatible components and suitable cable-entry accessories. A wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C further supports its use in challenging industrial environments.
