Why Choose the Ilme CHC16C-3 Metal Connector Cover?
The Ilme CHC16C-3 is a robust metal protective cover for heavy-duty rectangular connectors, designed to protect compatible Ilme connector housings when the connection is not in use. Part of the Ilme C-TYPE series, this size 77.27 cover combines durable metal construction with four locking pegs and an integrated gasket for dependable protection in industrial machinery and automation installations.
The CHC16C-3 is intended for compatible housings using a double-lever locking arrangement. Its four integral locking pegs provide secure engagement with the housing levers, while the gasket helps seal the connector interface against dust, moisture and other contaminants when the cover is correctly secured.
Designed around the established Ilme size 77.27 enclosure format, the CHC16C-3 provides a practical way to protect disconnected industrial connector interfaces. C-TYPE covers of this configuration use rugged die-cast aluminium construction and are designed for reliable operation across demanding industrial temperature conditions.

Reliable Connector Protection for Industrial Equipment
Heavy-duty rectangular connectors can be exposed to dust, moisture, debris and accidental contact whenever they are disconnected. The Ilme CHC16C-3 provides a durable protective barrier over the mating interface, helping preserve connector condition and reducing the risk of contamination during maintenance, equipment transport or periods when machinery is not connected.
Its four-peg arrangement allows compatible housing levers to clamp the cover securely into position, while the fitted gasket supports effective environmental sealing. This combination makes the CHC16C-3 particularly useful for industrial machinery and automation systems where reliable protection of unused connector interfaces is important.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Factory automation and control systems.
- Heavy-duty rectangular connector assemblies.
- Material handling and conveyor equipment.
- Machine tools and manufacturing systems.
- Electrical equipment requiring protection of disconnected connector interfaces.
