Why Choose the ILME CHP16.2 C-TYPE Surface Mounting Housing?
The ILME CHP16.2 is a robust surface mounting housing for heavy-duty multipole connectors, designed for dependable electrical connections in industrial machinery, automation and control systems. Part of the proven ILME C-TYPE series, it combines a size 77.27 interface with two locking levers and two Pg21 side cable entries.
Manufactured from die-cast aluminium, the CHP16.2 provides a durable fixed mounting point for compatible ILME connector inserts and mating hoods. Its twin-lever stainless-steel locking system provides consistent clamping and secure connector mating, while the integrated gasket helps maintain environmental sealing when the connector assembly is correctly closed.
With two Pg21 side cable entries, the housing provides flexible cable-routing options for industrial installations. The CHP16.2 is specified for IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection when correctly assembled, operates across an ambient temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C and is designed for a mechanical life of at least 500 mating cycles.
