Why Choose the ILME THIW24 Thermoplastic Bulkhead Housing?
The ILME THIW24, also designated THIW 24, is a T-TYPE /W thermoplastic bulkhead mounting housing designed for heavy-duty rectangular multipole connector assemblies. Featuring two locking levers and the large size 104.27 enclosure format, it provides a robust fixed connector interface for industrial machinery, automation equipment and electrical panels.
The THIW24 belongs to ILME's T-TYPE /W series and combines an insulating thermoplastic enclosure with a high level of environmental protection. Its bulkhead configuration has no cable entry and mounts directly to a suitable panel or machine surface, while the two locking levers securely engage a compatible mating hood.
Designed for demanding environments, the THIW24 provides IP66 and IP69 protection when correctly assembled with compatible components. The T-TYPE /W construction uses a polypropylene housing, polyamide locking levers and an FKM gasket, supporting reliable sealing across an operating temperature range of -40 to +90 °C.
Key Advantages
- Size 104.27 enclosure for compatible ILME heavy-duty connector inserts.
- Two locking levers provide secure mechanical engagement with compatible mating hoods.

High-Protection Thermoplastic Connector Interface
The THIW24 forms the fixed panel-mounted side of a compatible ILME rectangular connector assembly. Once an appropriate size 104.27 insert is installed, the two locking levers engage with the corresponding pegs on a compatible mating hood, mechanically securing the connector halves and compressing the sealing system to provide environmental protection.
Its T-TYPE /W thermoplastic construction and FKM gasket make the housing particularly useful where a robust insulating enclosure and high ingress protection are required. With IP66 and IP69 protection, the THIW24 is suitable for industrial equipment exposed to dust, water and demanding cleaning or operating conditions when the complete connector system is correctly assembled.
