Why Choose the Ilme CHI50CS Bulkhead Mounting Housing with Metal Cover?
The Ilme CHI50CS is a robust bulkhead mounting housing for heavy-duty rectangular connectors, designed to provide a fixed connection interface on industrial machinery, control panels and electrical equipment. Part of the Ilme C-TYPE series, this size 66.40 housing features four locking pegs and is supplied with a metal protective cover for dependable protection when the connector is disconnected.
Designed specifically for direct bulkhead installation, the CHI50CS is manufactured without a cable entry and accommodates compatible Ilme connector inserts. Its four locking pegs are designed to engage the two locking levers of a compatible mating hood, providing secure mechanical coupling while allowing straightforward connection and disconnection during installation and maintenance.
When the mating connector is removed, the supplied metal cover protects the connector interface and provides an IP65 degree of protection when correctly closed. With an NBR gasket, RAL 7040 grey finish and broad -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range, the CHI50CS is well suited to demanding industrial machinery and automation environments.

Reliable Protected Bulkhead Connectivity for Industrial Equipment
Bulkhead connector housings create a fixed electrical interface between machinery or control equipment and detachable cable assemblies. When the cable-side connector is removed, the connector insert can otherwise be exposed to dust, moisture, debris and accidental contact. The metal cover supplied with the Ilme CHI50CS provides dedicated protection for the interface during these disconnected periods.
The four-peg C-TYPE arrangement enables compatible two-lever mating enclosures to be securely locked to the housing, while the protective cover provides a practical way to close the interface when it is not in use. This makes the CHI50CS particularly suitable for machine builders, panel builders and maintenance engineers requiring a robust, serviceable connection point with integral protection.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Factory automation and robotic systems.
- Electrical control panels and cabinets.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
- Heavy-duty power, control and signal connector assemblies.
- Equipment requiring protection of disconnected bulkhead connector interfaces.
