CHIR48LS Ilme Bulkhead housing 1 lever and cover Size 104.62

Why Choose the Ilme CHIR48LS Bulkhead Housing?

The Ilme CHIR48LS is a specialist 180 °C series bulkhead mounting connector housing with one lever and a metal protective cover, designed for heavy-duty multipole connections in industrial environments exposed to elevated temperatures. With its 104.62 size, the housing accommodates two compatible 104.27 inserts and provides a robust fixed connector interface for machinery, ovens, heating equipment and high-temperature automation systems.

Developed specifically for Ilme's 180 °C high-temperature connector series, the CHIR48LS combines a robust aluminium enclosure with a single locking lever and gasket. The locking arrangement provides secure mechanical engagement with a compatible mating enclosure while retaining the convenience of rapid connection and disconnection during installation and maintenance.

The CHIR48LS is supplied with a metal protective cover and provides an IP65 degree of protection when correctly assembled. Its exceptional -40 to +180 °C ambient temperature range makes it particularly suitable for applications where conventional industrial connector housings may be exposed to temperatures beyond their normal operating limits.

Reliable Connectivity for High-Temperature Environments

Industrial connector systems installed close to ovens, heating processes and other high-temperature machinery require enclosures and inserts specifically designed to withstand elevated ambient temperatures. The Ilme 180 °C series extends the operating range of heavy-duty rectangular connectors while retaining the secure locking and maintainable connection principles used throughout industrial multipole connector systems.

The CHIR48LS provides a fixed panel-side interface for these applications and can accommodate compatible high-temperature inserts such as Ilme CNE RY and CX RY configurations. Its large 104.62 format enables multiple power, control or signal circuits to be combined within a single robust connector assembly.
