Why Choose the ILME CHI32LS Bulkhead Mounting Housing?
The ILME CHI32LS, manufacturer reference CHI 32 LS, is a heavy-duty bulkhead mounting housing with one locking lever and metal protective cover. Part of the ILME C-TYPE series, it is designed for rectangular connector systems in the large 77.62 size format, providing a robust fixed connection point for industrial machinery, automation and electrical equipment.
The CHI32LS incorporates a single locking lever manufactured from stainless steel and polyamide for secure engagement with compatible ILME connector components. As a bulkhead housing it is supplied without a cable entry, allowing it to mount directly to a panel, machine or equipment enclosure. The supplied metal cover protects the connector interface when the connection is not in use.
ILME specifies the CHI32LS with an IP65 degree of protection. An NBR gasket, durable C-TYPE construction and operating temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C make it suitable for demanding industrial environments where dependable connector protection and repeated connection cycles are required.

Secure Panel-Mounted Connectivity with Metal Cover Protection
Bulkhead connector housings create a fixed connection interface on machinery, control cabinets and other industrial equipment. The ILME CHI32LS combines the large 77.62 enclosure format with a single-lever locking mechanism, providing a practical solution for applications where compatible heavy-duty connectors need to be connected and disconnected reliably.
The supplied metal cover protects the connector interface when it is not mated, while the NBR gasket and robust enclosure design support environmental protection. This combination makes the CHI32LS particularly useful for industrial installations where a fixed connector interface may remain disconnected during maintenance, machine changeovers or equipment servicing.
