Why Choose the Ilme CHI16LS Bulkhead Mounting Housing with Metal Cover?
The Ilme CHI16LS is a robust bulkhead mounting housing for heavy-duty rectangular connectors, supplied with an integrated metal protective cover for the connector interface. Part of the established Ilme C-TYPE series, it combines a size 77.27 enclosure format with a single locking lever to provide a durable fixed connection point for industrial machinery, control panels and electrical equipment.
Designed for direct bulkhead installation, the CHI16LS is manufactured without a cable entry and accepts compatible Ilme connector inserts. Its single-lever locking system provides secure coupling with a compatible mating enclosure, while the supplied metal cover protects the connector interface whenever the mating connector is removed.
The CHI16LS provides an IP65 degree of protection when correctly assembled and closed. Its stainless-steel and polyamide lever components, NBR gasket and broad -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range make it a dependable solution for machinery, factory automation and other demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Protected Bulkhead Connectivity for Industrial Equipment
Bulkhead connector housings provide a fixed interface between machinery or electrical panels and detachable cable assemblies. When the cable-side connector is removed, exposed connector components can otherwise be vulnerable to dust, debris, moisture and accidental contact. The metal cover supplied with the Ilme CHI16LS provides dedicated protection for the interface during these disconnected periods.
The combination of a single-lever C-TYPE locking system, NBR gasket and protective metal cover makes the CHI16LS particularly useful for equipment requiring frequent connection and disconnection. It provides machine builders and maintenance engineers with a durable, serviceable connector interface while helping preserve compatible connector components between operating cycles.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Factory automation and robotic systems.
- Electrical control panels and cabinets.
- Material handling and conveyor equipment.
- Machine tools and manufacturing systems.
- Heavy-duty power, control and signal connector assemblies.
- Equipment requiring protection of disconnected bulkhead connector interfaces.
