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.

Key Advantages

  • Heavy-duty C-TYPE connector hood for industrial multipole connections.
  • Four locking pegs for secure mating with compatible lever-equipped housings.
  • PG42 side cable entry with adapter for practical industrial cable routing.
  • 77.62 size for compatible Ilme connector inserts.
  • IP65 / IP66 / IP69 protection when correctly assembled.
  • Durable aluminium construction for demanding industrial environments.

  • 4 locking pegs.
  • Size 77.62 enclosure format.
  • PG42 side cable entry with adapter.
  • Aluminium body.
  • IP65 / IP66 / IP69 degree of protection when correctly assembled.

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.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machinery and automation equipment.
  • Electrical control panels and switchgear assemblies.
  • Machine tools and production machinery.
  • Factory automation and manufacturing lines.
  • Material handling and conveyor systems.
  • Industrial power, control and signal connections.
  • OEM machinery requiring detachable multipole connections.
