Why Choose the Ilme CHOW16 Side-Entry Hood?
The Ilme CHOW16 is a robust heavy-duty rectangular connector hood designed for industrial cable assemblies requiring dependable environmental protection and convenient side cable routing. Part of the Ilme W-TYPE series, it combines the size 77.27 enclosure format with four locking pegs and a PG21 side cable entry.
The side-entry configuration allows the connected cable to run away from the connector horizontally, helping reduce installation height and simplify cable routing around machinery, control panels and other restricted spaces. Its four locking pegs are designed for engagement with compatible Ilme housings equipped with two locking levers, providing secure and balanced mechanical coupling.
The CHOW16 supports IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection when correctly assembled with compatible Ilme components and suitable cable-entry hardware. With a broad -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range and rugged industrial construction, it provides a reliable enclosure solution for power, control and signal connections in demanding machinery and automation applications.

Reliable Side-Entry Connectivity for Industrial Equipment
Side-entry connector hoods provide an effective solution where cables need to run parallel to machinery, panels or equipment rather than vertically away from the connector. The Ilme CHOW16 combines a PG21 side entry with the established size 77.27 enclosure format, helping engineers create compact and serviceable detachable connections while managing cable routing efficiently.
Its four-peg locking arrangement is designed to couple securely with compatible two-lever Ilme housings, providing balanced mechanical retention across the connector interface. When correctly fitted with a suitable insert, mating housing, cable gland and sealing components, the CHOW16 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 industrial cabinets.
- Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Industrial power, control and signal connections.
- OEM machinery requiring side-entry detachable connector assemblies.
