Why Choose the ILME RX03TF HNM Female Modular Frame?
The ILME RX03TF is a MIXO HNM modular frame for three modular units, designed for heavy-duty industrial connector systems where frequent connection and disconnection is required. Part of ILME's HNM High Number of Matings range, it provides a secure mounting platform for compatible MIXO modular inserts while supporting demanding machinery, automation and test applications.
The RX03TF is the conventional frame-for-housings type and accommodates three MIXO modular units. It is manufactured from die-cast zinc alloy, incorporates a protective earth connection and is supplied with the lock-in tab required to retain the modular units securely within the frame.
Designed for size 57.27 enclosures, the RX03TF can achieve up to 10,000 mating cycles when used with compatible ILME HNM enclosures. The frame also supports installation of both male and female MIXO modular units within the same frame, giving system designers considerable flexibility when creating customised industrial connector configurations.

Flexible Modular Connections for High-Mating-Cycle Applications
ILME MIXO modular frames allow different electrical, pneumatic and signal modules to be combined within a single heavy-duty rectangular connector system. The RX03TF provides space for three modular units, enabling connector configurations to be tailored to the requirements of individual machines and industrial systems rather than relying on a fixed contact arrangement.
The HNM construction makes the RX03TF particularly useful where connectors are repeatedly coupled and uncoupled. When paired with the appropriate HNM counterpart and enclosure, the system supports up to 10,000 mating cycles. In each modular connector coupling, one type M frame and one type F frame are used, with the RX03TF providing the F-side frame.
Typical Applications
- ILME MIXO HNM modular connector assemblies.
- Industrial machinery with frequently disconnected interfaces.
- Factory automation and production equipment.
- Industrial test benches and testing systems.
- Robotics and automated manufacturing equipment.
- Interchangeable machine modules and tooling.
- Mixed power, signal and data connector configurations.
- Heavy-duty industrial equipment requiring modular connectivity.
