Why Choose the Ilme CHO06L13 Side-Entry Hood?
The Ilme CHO06L13 is a robust heavy-duty rectangular connector hood designed for industrial cable connections where a compact side-entry arrangement is required. Part of the established Ilme C-TYPE series, it combines the size 44.27 enclosure format with two locking pegs and a PG13.5 threaded cable entry.
The side cable entry provides an angled cable-routing solution that is particularly useful where installation height above the connector needs to be minimised. Its two locking pegs are designed to engage the locking lever of a compatible Ilme housing, providing secure mechanical coupling while allowing convenient connection and disconnection during installation and maintenance.
Manufactured from robust aluminium alloy, the CHO06L13 supports IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection when correctly assembled with compatible components and suitable cable-entry hardware. Its broad -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range makes it suitable for demanding industrial machinery, automation and electrical equipment.

Reliable Side-Entry Connectivity for Industrial Equipment
Side-entry connector hoods are particularly useful where cable routing, enclosure depth or machine geometry makes a conventional top-entry arrangement impractical. The Ilme CHO06L13 directs the cable away from the connector at an angle, helping create compact and serviceable installations on machinery, control equipment and production systems.
Its aluminium construction, two-peg locking arrangement and PG13.5 cable entry provide a durable foundation for compatible Ilme heavy-duty connector assemblies. When correctly fitted with the appropriate insert, mating housing, cable gland and sealing components, the CHO06L13 provides dependable mechanical and environmental protection for industrial electrical connections.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Factory automation and robotic systems.
- Electrical control panels and cabinets.
- Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Industrial power, control and signal connections.
- OEM equipment requiring compact side-entry cable routing.
