Why Choose the Ilme TMAO16.40 Thermoplastic Hood?
The Ilme TMAO16.40 is a robust thermoplastic multipole connector hood from the Ilme T-TYPE series, designed to protect industrial connector inserts and cable terminations in machinery, automation and electrical installations. Featuring a size 77.27 interface, four locking pegs and an M40 side cable entry, it provides a practical enclosure solution for compatible Ilme multipole connector assemblies.
Manufactured from durable polypropylene (PP), the TMAO16.40 combines electrical insulation with resistance to the environmental conditions commonly encountered in industrial installations. Its high-construction hood design provides additional cable termination space, while the side-entry arrangement allows cables to approach the connector horizontally where installation layouts require this orientation.
The hood provides an IP65 degree of protection when correctly assembled with compatible components and operates across a broad -40 to +90 °C temperature range. Its M40 threaded cable entry, four-peg locking interface and size 77.27 format make it suitable for building reliable removable multipole connections in control systems, production machinery and industrial equipment.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Multipole Connections
Industrial connector hoods protect multipole inserts and conductor terminations while providing a controlled cable entry into detachable electrical connections. The Ilme TMAO16.40 uses a side-entry M40 connection that supports practical cable routing in machinery and control installations where a top-entry cable arrangement would be inconvenient or require additional installation height.
The T-TYPE thermoplastic construction provides an electrically insulating enclosure while the four-peg interface enables secure coupling with compatible lever-equipped Ilme housings. When assembled with the appropriate matching components, the IP65 enclosure system helps protect electrical connections against dust and water jets for dependable operation in industrial environments.
