Why Choose the Ilme CHO16L C-TYPE Hood?
The Ilme CHO16L is a robust C-TYPE hood with two locking pegs and a Pg21 side cable entry, designed for heavy-duty multipole connector installations in industrial machinery, automation and electrical equipment. Manufactured for size 77.27 connector systems, it provides a durable cable-side enclosure for power, control and signal connections.
The CHO16L uses a practical side-entry configuration that allows the cable to approach the connector parallel to the mating interface, helping simplify cable routing where installation height is restricted. Its two locking pegs are designed to engage with the lever of a compatible Ilme housing, providing secure mechanical coupling while retaining convenient access for installation and maintenance.
Built for industrial service, the CHO16L combines a durable metal enclosure with the established Ilme C-TYPE connector format. When correctly assembled with compatible Ilme inserts, housings, cable glands and sealing components, it provides a dependable connection solution for machinery and equipment requiring a compact Pg21 side-entry hood.
Key Advantages
- Robust C-TYPE heavy-duty connector hood for industrial applications.
- Two locking pegs provide secure coupling with compatible lever-equipped housings.
- Pg21 side cable entry supports practical right-angle cable routing.
- Designed specifically for size 77.27 heavy-duty connector systems.
- Durable metal construction provides reliable mechanical protection for the connector insert.
- Suitable for industrial power, control and signal connections requiring regular servicing or disconnection.
Key Features
- Ilme C-TYPE series.
- Size 77.27 connector enclosure format.
- Two locking pegs for mating with compatible lever-equipped housings.
- Pg21 side cable entry.
- Heavy-duty metal hood construction.
- Designed for compatible 77 × 27 mm connector inserts.
- Side-entry geometry helps reduce required installation height above the connector.
- Suitable for heavy-duty multipole power, signal and control connector assemblies.
Practical Side-Entry Connectivity for Industrial Equipment
Side-entry connector hoods such as the Ilme CHO16L are particularly useful where machinery layout or restricted installation height makes a top-entry cable route impractical. The Pg21 side entry allows the cable and suitable gland to enter from the side of the hood, helping create an organised connection while reducing the space required above the connector assembly.
The two-peg configuration provides the mechanical interface for a compatible lever-equipped Ilme housing. Once the connector inserts are fully mated and the locking mechanism is engaged, the enclosure helps protect the electrical interface while still allowing the assembly to be disconnected efficiently for servicing, replacement or machinery changeovers.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and machine-building applications.
- Factory automation and production equipment.
- Control cabinet and electrical panel connections.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Heavy-duty power, control and signal connector assemblies.
- OEM equipment requiring compact side-entry cable routing.
