The new ILME Metal Hoods with M25 Angled Cable Entry offer advantages for modern industrial applications, according to Mencom
OAKWOOD, Ga.—Mencom Corporation reported that it introduced a new line of ILME 21.21 Metal Hoods with M25 Angled Cable Entry that can be used to advantage in a variety of modern industrial applications.
Mencom is a U.S. manufacturer and provider of connectors for industrial power, control, signal, and networking applications, according to the company’s website
The wide range of 21.21 rectangular connectors reportedly provide a secure and reliable connection for power and signal transmission, with high resistance to environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and vibration. In addition, their compact design allows for easy installation and maintenance, making them a popular choice for a wide range of industrial machinery and equipment, Mencom said in a release
The new size 21.21 metal hood with angled M25 cable entry is said to accommodate large diameter cables or wire bundles while eliminating torsional stress on the locking lever of the mating enclosure. The metal hoods are available in four different versions: a standard version for heavy-duty applications, a DESINA® version with a bonded gasket, a W-type version with improved corrosion resistance for aggressive environments, and an EMC version with a conductive surface for optimum electromagnetic shielding, the company said
According to Mencom, the connectors are fully compatible with the existing range of 21.21 enclosures and are particularly suitable for CQ series inserts with a high number of individual conductors. When installed with the sealing kit (CKR-65 or CKR-65D), they are said to provide IP66/67/69 degrees of protection.
