Why Choose the ILME CHO06LX16 Side-Entry Hood?
The ILME CHO06LX16, manufacturer designation CHO 06 LX16, is a robust C-TYPE heavy-duty connector hood designed for industrial power, control and signal connections. It uses the ILME size 44.27 format and incorporates one locking lever for secure coupling with a compatible mating enclosure.
The CHO06LX16 features a side cable entry with Pg16 thread, making it suitable where cables need to exit horizontally from the connector assembly. The hood is supplied without a gasket and is designed to mate with compatible fixed housings that provide the corresponding sealing and locking arrangement.
With IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection when correctly assembled with compatible ILME components, the CHO06LX16 is suitable for demanding industrial environments. Its RAL 7040 grey finish, stainless steel and polyamide lever components and operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C make it a versatile enclosure for machinery and automation applications.

Reliable Side-Entry Connection for Industrial Equipment
Cable-entry hoods form the mobile side of many heavy-duty connector assemblies, providing mechanical protection around the insert while routing the connected cable into the enclosure. The ILME CHO06LX16 uses a Pg16 side entry, allowing the cable to leave the connector horizontally rather than through the top of the hood.
The integral single lever is designed to engage with the corresponding pegs of a compatible fixed ILME enclosure. When correctly mated with suitable components, the assembly provides high environmental protection while retaining the ability to disconnect equipment quickly for installation, servicing, machine replacement or transport.
