Why Choose the Ilme CHC16 Metal Connector Cover?
The Ilme CHC16 is a durable metal protective cover for heavy-duty rectangular connectors, designed to protect compatible Ilme connector housings when the connection is not in use. Part of the Ilme C-TYPE series, it is manufactured from die-cast aluminium and features four locking pegs for use with compatible size 77.27 housings equipped with two locking levers.
Designed for industrial machinery and automation installations, the CHC16 helps prevent dust, moisture and contaminants from reaching the connector interface while disconnected. Its robust metal construction provides dependable mechanical protection, while the integrated eyelet allows the cover to be retained as part of the connector assembly.
The CHC16 is manufactured for the Ilme size 77.27 connector format and provides an IP66 degree of protection when correctly fitted to a compatible housing. With a wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C, it is suitable for demanding industrial installations and equipment exposed to challenging environmental conditions.

Reliable Connector Protection for Industrial Equipment
Heavy-duty rectangular connectors are frequently disconnected during equipment servicing, transportation or machine reconfiguration, leaving the connector interface vulnerable to contamination and mechanical damage. A dedicated protective cover such as the Ilme CHC16 provides a robust barrier over the mating area whenever the connector is not coupled.
The CHC16 combines die-cast aluminium construction with a four-peg locking arrangement, allowing compatible two-lever Ilme housings to secure the cover firmly in position. Its IP66 protection and broad operating temperature range make it particularly well suited to industrial machinery, production equipment and automation installations where reliable connector protection is essential.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Factory automation and control systems.
- Heavy-duty rectangular connector assemblies.
- Material handling and conveyor equipment.
- Machine tools and manufacturing systems.
- Electrical equipment requiring protection of disconnected connector interfaces.
