Why Choose the Ilme CHI24LS Bulkhead Housing?
The Ilme CHI24LS is a robust C-TYPE bulkhead mounting connector housing with one lever and a metal protective cover, designed for heavy-duty rectangular connector installations in industrial machinery, automation equipment and electrical control systems. With its 104.27 insert/base size, it provides a secure panel-mounted interface for compatible Ilme inserts and mating connector components.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the CHI24LS features an aluminium alloy enclosure and a single-lever locking arrangement for straightforward and reliable connector mating. Its bulkhead configuration mounts directly to a machine panel or electrical enclosure and requires no cable entry, making it an effective fixed connection point for power, control and signal circuits.
The supplied metal protective cover protects the connector interface when the mating connector is removed. The CHI24LS cover configuration is rated IP65 and is designed for an operating temperature range of -40 to +125 °C, supporting reliable use across a broad range of industrial environments.

Reliable Industrial Connector Protection
Bulkhead connector housings provide a fixed mounting point for heavy-duty multipole connectors installed through machine panels and electrical enclosures. This arrangement keeps the panel-side connector securely positioned while allowing compatible cable-mounted assemblies to be connected and disconnected quickly during installation, operation and maintenance.
The CHI24LS combines a single-lever locking mechanism with a metal protective cover, providing a practical solution for installations where the connector may periodically remain unmated. Its aluminium alloy construction and wide operating temperature range make it well suited to industrial automation, manufacturing and machine-building environments.
