Why Choose the Ilme CHI10LS Bulkhead Housing with Cover?
The Ilme CHI10LS is a robust bulkhead housing with one locking lever and protective cover designed for heavy-duty multipole connector installations in industrial machinery, automation and electrical equipment. Manufactured for size 57.27 connector inserts, it provides a durable panel-mounted interface while the integrated cover helps protect the connector opening when the mating connector is disconnected.
The CHI10LS combines a strong die-cast aluminium alloy housing with a practical single-lever locking arrangement for secure coupling to a compatible Ilme hood. The attached protective cover provides additional protection for the connector interface during periods of disconnection, making this version particularly useful for machinery where connectors are routinely connected and removed during operation, servicing or equipment changeovers.
With its compact size 57.27 format and bulkhead-mounted configuration, the CHI10LS is well suited to control panels, cabinets and machine enclosures. When correctly assembled with compatible Ilme inserts, hoods and cable accessories, it provides a reliable heavy-duty connection point for power, control and signal circuits in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Bulkhead Connectivity with Added Connector Protection
Bulkhead housings such as the Ilme CHI10LS provide a secure mounting point where electrical connections need to pass through a control cabinet, machine panel or enclosure wall. The housing supports a compatible connector insert and provides the mechanical interface required to couple a mating hood, while the protective cover helps shield the connector opening whenever the mating assembly is removed.
The single-lever locking arrangement makes compatible connector assemblies straightforward to connect and disconnect while maintaining secure mechanical coupling during operation. Combined with the protective cover, this makes the CHI10LS particularly useful for modular machinery and industrial equipment where electrical interfaces may be disconnected during servicing, transportation or production changeovers.
