Why Choose the Ilme CHO06L16 Side-Entry Hood?
The Ilme CHO06L16 is a robust heavy-duty rectangular connector hood designed for industrial cable connections requiring a compact side-entry configuration. Part of the established Ilme C-TYPE series, it combines the size 44.27 enclosure format with two locking pegs and a PG16 threaded cable entry.
Its side cable entry allows the cable to leave the connector at an angle rather than directly above it, making the CHO06L16 particularly useful where installation height or available space is restricted. The two locking pegs are designed to engage the locking lever of a compatible Ilme housing, providing secure mechanical coupling while retaining convenient connection and disconnection for installation and maintenance.
Manufactured from robust die-cast aluminium alloy, the CHO06L16 supports IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection when correctly assembled with compatible connector and cable-entry components. 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 machinery geometry, enclosure depth or cable routing makes a conventional top-entry arrangement impractical. The Ilme CHO06L16 directs the cable away from the connector through its PG16 side entry, helping engineers create compact and serviceable installations on machinery, production equipment and automated systems.
Its die-cast aluminium construction, two-peg locking arrangement and C-TYPE design 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 CHO06L16 provides dependable mechanical and environmental protection for industrial electrical connections.

- 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.
