Why Choose the ILME CHO16X Hood?
The ILME CHO16X is a robust industrial multipole connector hood designed to protect compatible rectangular connector inserts in machinery, automation and electrical installations. As part of the established ILME C-TYPE enclosure series, it provides a dependable connection solution for demanding industrial environments where secure mechanical coupling and environmental protection are required.
This hood features two locking levers for secure mating with compatible ILME housings and a Pg21 side cable entry for convenient cable routing. Its size 77.27 format supports a wide selection of compatible ILME inserts, making the CHO16X a versatile enclosure component for power, signal and control connections.
With protection ratings of IP65 / IP66 / IP69 when correctly assembled with compatible components, the CHO16X helps protect electrical connections against dust and water ingress. Its durable construction, stainless-steel and polyamide lever components and wide -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range make it suitable for challenging industrial applications.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Connections
Industrial connector hoods such as the ILME CHO16X provide mechanical and environmental protection for electrical connector inserts and their terminations. The side-entry configuration allows the cable to approach the connector horizontally, making it particularly useful where installation space or cable-routing requirements make a top-entry hood less suitable.
The ILME C-TYPE series is designed for reliable industrial connectivity across machinery and automation installations. The CHO16X combines a durable enclosure with two locking levers, a Pg21 cable entry and compatibility with size 77.27 inserts, providing a practical solution for detachable power, control and signal connections.
