Why Choose the Ilme CHO16 C-TYPE Hood?
The Ilme CHO16 is a robust C-TYPE hood with four locking pegs and a Pg21 side cable entry, designed for heavy-duty multipole connector installations in industrial machinery, automation and electrical equipment. Manufactured for size 77.27 connector inserts, it provides a durable cable-side enclosure for creating secure and serviceable electrical connections.
The CHO16 features a rugged die-cast aluminium construction with an epoxy-coated finish and a four-peg arrangement designed to engage with compatible Ilme housings equipped with two locking levers. Its side-entry configuration provides a practical cable routing solution where installation space or machine layout makes a right-angle cable approach preferable to a top-entry hood.
With IP65 / IP66 / IP69 protection when correctly assembled with compatible components, an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C and a Pg21 side cable entry, the CHO16 is well suited to demanding industrial power, control and signal connections requiring reliable mechanical protection and environmental sealing.

Practical Side-Entry Connectivity for Industrial Equipment
Side-entry hoods such as the Ilme CHO16 provide a practical solution where cables need to approach a heavy-duty connector parallel to the mounting surface rather than from above. The Pg21 side entry helps optimise cable routing around machinery, control equipment and confined installation spaces while providing a robust enclosure around the connector insert.
The four-peg arrangement is designed to engage with compatible Ilme housings fitted with two locking levers, creating a secure mechanical connection that can still be conveniently released for servicing or equipment changes. When correctly assembled with suitable inserts, housings, cable glands and sealing components, the CHO16 supports high ingress protection for dependable industrial operation.
