Why Choose the ILME CHI16CS Bulkhead Mounting Housing?
The ILME CHI16CS, manufacturer reference CHI 16 CS, is a heavy-duty bulkhead mounting housing with four locking pegs and a metal protective cover. Part of the ILME C-TYPE series, it is designed for rectangular connector systems in the 77.27 size format and provides a robust panel-mounted connection point for industrial machinery, automation and electrical equipment.
The CHI16CS uses a durable aluminium enclosure with four locking pegs for engagement with compatible lever-equipped ILME hoods. It is supplied without a cable entry and includes a metal cover that provides mechanical protection for the connector interface whenever the mating hood is disconnected.
ILME specifies the CHI16CS with an IP65 degree of protection in its intended mated and locked configuration. The housing incorporates an NBR gasket, has a RAL 7040 grey finish and operates across a wide temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C, making it suitable for demanding industrial installations.

Heavy-Duty Panel Connection with Metal Cover Protection
Bulkhead mounting housings provide a fixed heavy-duty connector interface on machinery, control panels and electrical equipment. The ILME CHI16CS combines a size 77.27 panel-mounted enclosure with four locking pegs, allowing compatible lever-equipped hoods to be securely attached for dependable industrial connection and disconnection.
When the mating connector is removed, the supplied metal cover provides mechanical protection for the exposed interface. ILME specifies that the CS cover itself does not independently ensure the IP65 rating, so the environmental protection rating applies to the appropriate correctly mated and locked connector configuration.
