Why Choose the Ilme CHO32X Side-Entry Hood?
The Ilme CHO32X is a robust heavy-duty rectangular connector hood designed for industrial cable assemblies requiring a large size 77.62 enclosure and convenient side cable routing. Part of the established Ilme C-TYPE series, it combines two locking levers with a PG36 side cable entry and adapter for dependable use with compatible Ilme connector components.
The side-entry configuration directs the cable away from the connector body, making the CHO32X particularly useful where machinery geometry, cable bend requirements or available installation height make top-entry routing less practical. Its two locking levers provide secure mechanical coupling to a compatible housing with locking pegs while allowing straightforward disconnection during installation, servicing and equipment maintenance.
The CHO32X is specified without a gasket and supports IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection as part of a correctly assembled compatible connector system. With a robust aluminium enclosure, stainless-steel and polyamide locking levers and a broad -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range, it is well suited to demanding industrial machinery and automation applications.

Reliable Side-Entry Connectivity for Industrial Equipment
Side-entry connector hoods provide a practical solution where cables need to run parallel or at an angle to a machine or panel surface rather than directly away from it. The Ilme CHO32X combines a large size 77.62 enclosure with a PG36 side entry, helping engineers create robust and serviceable cable assemblies while managing cable bend and installation space effectively.
The two-lever locking arrangement provides secure mechanical retention with a compatible peg-equipped housing, while the aluminium enclosure protects the connector insert in demanding industrial environments. When correctly combined with suitable Ilme inserts, mating housings, sealing components and cable-entry hardware, the CHO32X provides a dependable detachable connection for industrial power, control and signal circuits.
Typical Applications
