Why Choose the Ilme CHI50 Bulkhead Mounting Housing?
The Ilme CHI50 is a robust bulkhead mounting housing for heavy-duty rectangular connectors, designed to provide a fixed and dependable electrical connection point on industrial machinery, control panels and production equipment. Part of the established Ilme C-TYPE series, it combines a large size 66.40 enclosure format with two locking levers for secure industrial connector coupling.
Designed specifically for direct bulkhead installation, the CHI50 is supplied without a cable entry and accommodates compatible Ilme inserts based on the size 66.40 format. Its dual-lever locking system engages the locking pegs of a compatible mating hood, providing secure mechanical retention while allowing convenient connection and disconnection during installation, servicing and machine maintenance.
The CHI50 supports IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection when correctly assembled and locked with compatible components. Its stainless-steel and polyamide locking levers, NBR gasket and broad -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range provide the durability required for demanding machinery, factory automation and industrial control environments.

Reliable Bulkhead Connectivity for Industrial Equipment
Bulkhead mounting housings create a fixed connector interface between industrial equipment and detachable cable assemblies, allowing power, control or signal connections to be disconnected without disturbing permanent internal panel wiring. The Ilme CHI50 provides a durable mounting platform for compatible size 66.40 connector inserts and is designed to withstand the mechanical and environmental demands of industrial installations.
Its two-lever C-TYPE locking arrangement applies secure retention at both sides of the mating enclosure, while the NBR gasket supports environmental sealing of the complete connection. This makes the CHI50 particularly suitable for machine builders, panel builders and automation engineers requiring reliable, serviceable and repeatable electrical connections on production equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Factory automation and robotic systems.
- Electrical control panels and cabinets.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
- Heavy-duty power, control and signal connector assemblies.
- OEM machinery requiring detachable multipole electrical connections.
