ILME corrosion resistant connector enclosures

Click2Contact

ILME offers a range of corrosion resistance connector enclosures, based on the principle that corrosion must never penetrate, affect the connector's locking mechanisms, or contaminate internal contacts and terminations, as this would compromise electrical performance. Salt spray testing provides a controlled, repeatable benchmark to verify resistance levels beyond purely aesthetic standards.

Suitable for aggressive environments, the IP68 range is for railway applications and in environments where high-pressure resistance, impact strength, and corrosion resistance are required. They are manufactured from aluminium die-cast alloy with an epoxy-polyester thermosetting powder coating, colour black RAL 9005, resistant to external agents and impacts. Gaskets are manufactured in anti-ageing, oil-resistant, grease-resistant and fuel-resistant NBR elastomer.

Meanwhile, ILME’s W-TYPE enclosure series is designed for industrial applications with particularly aggressive external agents. Its advanced surface treatment delivers up to 50% higher corrosion resistance in salt spray testing compared to standard solutions. Manufactured from aluminium die-cast alloy with a pre-coating chromate conversion treatment, they also have FKM fluoroelastomer gaskets for improved resistance to chemicals and aging.

The E-Xtreme series is built for the most demanding conditions with special protective coating applied prior to the finishing layer to provide maximum protection against pollution, erosion and long-term exposure to corrosive agents, achieving up to 3000 hours of resistance in salt spray testing (EN ISO 9227).
