Why Choose the ILME CHO10 Side-Entry Hood?
The ILME CHO10, manufacturer designation CHO 10, is a robust C-TYPE heavy-duty connector hood designed for industrial power, control and signal connections. It uses the ILME size 57.27 format and features four locking pegs for secure engagement with compatible mating enclosures equipped with the corresponding two-lever locking system.
The CHO10 features a Pg16 side cable entry, allowing the connected cable to leave the connector assembly horizontally rather than through the top. Its aluminium construction provides a durable enclosure for compatible ILME multipole inserts, making it suitable for machinery, factory automation and other demanding industrial installations.
When correctly assembled with compatible ILME components, the CHO10 provides IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection. A RAL 7040 grey finish and wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C further support reliable use across a broad range of industrial environments.

Reliable Side-Entry Connection for Industrial Equipment
Heavy-duty connector hoods protect the insert and cable termination on the cable-mounted side of an industrial multipole connection. The ILME CHO10 combines a robust aluminium enclosure with a Pg16 side entry, making it particularly useful where installation space or cable routing requirements favour a horizontal cable exit.
The four integral locking pegs engage with the levers of a compatible mating ILME enclosure to provide secure mechanical coupling. When the complete connector system is correctly assembled, its IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection ratings make the CHO10 suitable for equipment exposed to dust, water and demanding industrial operating conditions.
