Why Choose the Ilme CHO50X C-TYPE Hood?
The Ilme CHO50X is a robust C-TYPE hood with two locking levers and a Pg21 side cable entry, designed for heavy-duty multipole connector installations in industrial machinery, automation and electrical equipment. Manufactured for the distinctive size 66.40 connector format, it provides a durable cable-side enclosure for compatible Ilme inserts used in power, control and signal applications.
The CHO50X incorporates two locking levers manufactured using stainless steel and polyamide components, providing secure mechanical coupling with compatible Ilme housings equipped with locking pegs. Its side-entry arrangement allows the cable to approach the connector laterally, making it particularly useful where installation height is restricted or where machinery layout favours horizontal cable routing.
With IP65 / IP66 / IP69 protection when correctly assembled with compatible components, an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C and a Pg21 side cable entry, the CHO50X is engineered for demanding industrial connector installations. The hood is supplied without a gasket, as sealing is provided through the correctly selected mating enclosure and connector assembly.

Secure Side-Entry Connectivity for Size 66.40 Connector Systems
The Ilme size 66.40 enclosure format accommodates compatible connector inserts within a wide housing footprint, making it suitable for higher-density multipole connections. Side-entry hoods such as the CHO50X allow the cable and appropriate cable gland to approach from the side, helping reduce the vertical clearance required above the connector and simplifying routing around machinery and control equipment.
The CHO50X's twin-lever arrangement provides secure mechanical coupling with compatible Ilme housings fitted with corresponding pegs. When the connector is fully mated and the levers are engaged, the enclosure system supports high ingress protection while retaining the convenience of a detachable heavy-duty connection for installation, servicing and equipment changeovers.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and machine-building applications.
- Factory automation and production equipment.
- Control cabinets and electrical panel connections.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- High-density multipole power, control and signal connections.
- OEM equipment requiring secure side-entry cable routing.
