ILME, the well-known Italian manufacturer of industrial multipole connectors, has just introduced a new type of locking lever/handle for its die-cast metal enclosures. Instead of the current flexible, stainless steel lever with a roller, which snaps in place over the “peg” of the other part of the housing, new type, called “IL-BRID”, features a compound lever made of stainless steel and thermoplastic material. This system combines the sturdiness of steel with the smoothness of the plastic.
When locking an enclosure, the new lever acts in two phases: initially, the thermoplastic part slides easily over the “peg”, reducing friction and wear. In the second phase, the steel component comes into play to guarantee high resistance to stress.
Additionally, the “handle” part of the lever is now wider, providing a better grip when closing or opening. The new lever is easy to clean, does not promote deposit of dirt.
Enclosures equipped with the new lever – which will include initially the “CZ” and “MZ” series 15- and 25- poles – can be coupled with all existing matching enclosures equipped with pegs.
