Why Choose the Ilme CHO32.42 Hood?
The Ilme CHO32.42 is a robust C-TYPE industrial connector hood with four pegs and a side-entry PG42 cable connection, designed for heavy-duty multipole connections in industrial machinery, automation equipment and electrical installations. Its 77.62 size provides a large enclosure format for compatible Ilme inserts used to carry power, control and signal circuits.
Manufactured from aluminium, the CHO32.42 combines mechanical strength with a practical side-entry configuration that helps route larger industrial cables parallel to the connector interface. The integrated PG42 adapter provides the specified cable-entry connection, while the four locking pegs are designed to engage compatible Ilme housings with locking levers.
When correctly assembled with compatible Ilme components and suitable cable sealing accessories, the CHO32.42 supports IP65 / IP66 / IP69 protection. Its industrial construction and broad -40 to +125 °C operating temperature range make it suitable for demanding machinery, manufacturing and automation environments.

Reliable Heavy-Duty Industrial Connectivity
Industrial connector hoods provide mechanical and environmental protection for cable-side multipole inserts while providing the cable-entry point for the connector assembly. A side-entry configuration such as the CHO32.42 is particularly useful where cable routing, bend radius or installation space makes a right-angle cable approach preferable to a top-entry hood.
The CHO32.42 combines a large 77.62 enclosure format with four locking pegs and a PG42 cable entry, making it suitable for robust detachable power, control and signal connections. When paired with compatible Ilme components, it provides a maintainable connector solution for industrial equipment that may need to be disconnected during installation, servicing or replacement.
