Why Choose the Ilme CHCS10 EMC Metal Connector Cover?
The Ilme CHCS10 is a robust EMC metal protective cover for heavy-duty rectangular connectors, designed to protect compatible Ilme connector interfaces while supporting electromagnetic compatibility requirements. Manufactured for the size 57.27 enclosure format, it features four locking pegs and is intended for compatible housings equipped with two locking levers.
Unlike a standard connector cover, the CHCS10 belongs to Ilme's EMC enclosure range and uses a specially conductive surface treatment to provide enhanced shielding performance at high frequencies. This makes it particularly suitable for industrial installations containing sensitive electronic equipment, drives, automation systems and other applications where electromagnetic interference needs to be controlled.
The CHCS10 is manufactured from die-cast aluminium and incorporates an eyelet for retaining the cover with the installation. It provides IP66 protection when correctly attached and locked to a compatible enclosure and is designed for operation across a broad -40 °C to +125 °C temperature range, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Reliable EMC Connector Protection for Industrial Equipment
Industrial electrical systems containing variable speed drives, switching equipment, control electronics and communication networks can generate or be affected by electromagnetic interference. EMC connector enclosures help maintain the continuity of the shielding system around electrical connections, reducing the opportunity for unwanted electromagnetic emissions or susceptibility at connector interfaces.
The Ilme CHCS10 combines a conductive EMC enclosure design with robust aluminium construction and secure four-peg locking. When used as part of a correctly engineered EMC connector assembly with compatible Ilme components and suitable EMC cable-entry hardware, it provides both mechanical protection for the disconnected interface and effective support for the installation's electromagnetic compatibility strategy.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery requiring EMC-compatible connections.
- Variable speed drive and motor control installations.
- Factory automation and robotic equipment.
- PLC, control and instrumentation systems.
- Industrial communication and data equipment.
- Machine tools and manufacturing systems.
- Shielded heavy-duty connector assemblies.
