Why Choose the Ilme CHIW16 W-TYPE Bulkhead Housing?
The Ilme CHIW16 is a robust bulkhead mounting housing with two locking levers designed for heavy-duty industrial connector systems used in harsh and aggressive environments. As part of the specialised Ilme W-TYPE enclosure range, it is manufactured for size 77.27 connector systems and provides a dependable fixed connection interface for machinery, automation equipment and electrical installations.
The CHIW16 combines durable metal enclosure construction with two locking levers for secure mating with compatible Ilme hoods and connector components. W-TYPE enclosures are developed for applications requiring enhanced resistance to challenging environmental conditions, making them particularly suitable for exposed machinery and installations where conventional connector housings may experience accelerated corrosion or environmental wear.
With IP65 / IP66 / IP69 protection when correctly assembled with compatible components and a compact size 77.27 format, the CHIW16 provides a reliable bulkhead connection point for heavy-duty multipole connector systems. Its panel-mounted configuration has no cable entry and is designed for direct installation onto control cabinets, electrical panels and machine enclosures.
