Why Choose the Ilme CHIE48LS E-Xtreme® Bulkhead Housing with Cover?
The Ilme CHIE48LS is a heavy-duty bulkhead mounting housing with one locking lever and metal protective cover designed for industrial connector installations exposed to particularly demanding environmental conditions. As part of the specialised Ilme E-Xtreme® C-TYPE series, it is manufactured in size 104.62 and provides a robust fixed connector interface for machinery, control panels, cabinets and industrial equipment.
The CHIE48LS combines E-Xtreme® enclosure construction with a stainless-steel and polyamide locking lever and an FKM gasket for dependable mechanical retention and environmental sealing. The supplied metal cover protects the connector interface while it is disconnected, making the housing particularly suitable for equipment where electrical connections are routinely opened for servicing, transportation or production changeovers.
With IP66 / IP69 protection, an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C and a size 104.62 format, the CHIE48LS provides a high-performance connection solution for harsh industrial environments. The E-Xtreme® enclosure range is engineered for exceptional corrosion resistance, including resistance demonstrated through extended salt-spray testing.

Reliable Connectivity for Extreme Industrial Environments
Bulkhead housings such as the Ilme CHIE48LS provide a secure fixed mounting point where heavy-duty electrical connections pass through a control cabinet, machine panel or enclosure wall. Its single-lever locking system provides reliable mechanical coupling with compatible mating components, while the metal cover protects the connector interface whenever the mating connector is removed.
The E-Xtreme® series is engineered for industrial applications where conventional enclosure finishes may be insufficient. Its enhanced corrosion resistance, FKM sealing and robust locking components make the CHIE48LS particularly suitable for equipment exposed to moisture, intensive cleaning, salt-laden atmospheres and other aggressive operating conditions.
