Why Choose the Ilme CHI10CS Bulkhead Housing?
The Ilme CHI10CS is a robust C-TYPE bulkhead mounting connector housing with four pegs and a metal protective cover, designed for industrial multipole connector installations on machinery, control panels and electrical enclosures. With its 57.27 insert/base size, it provides a dependable panel-mounted interface for a wide range of compatible Ilme rectangular connector inserts.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the CHI10CS combines an aluminium housing with a four-peg locking configuration for connection to compatible Ilme hoods equipped with closing levers. Its bulkhead mounting format allows the housing to be securely installed through an enclosure or machine panel, creating a convenient fixed connection point for power, control and signal circuits.
The integrated metal protective cover provides mechanical protection for the connector interface while it is disconnected. The CHI10CS is specified as an IP65 cover version; Ilme notes that the cover itself provides mechanical protection and does not independently guarantee the IP protection rating.
