Why Choose the ILME CHI16CP Bulkhead Mounting Housing?
The ILME CHI16CP, manufacturer reference CHI 16 CP, is a C-TYPE bulkhead mounting housing with four locking pegs and a plastic protective cover. Designed for ILME heavy-duty rectangular connector systems in the 77.27 size format, it provides a robust panel-mounted interface for industrial machinery, automation and electrical equipment.
The CHI16CP is supplied without a cable entry and incorporates four locking pegs for engagement with compatible lever-equipped ILME hoods. Its integrated plastic cover provides convenient mechanical protection for the connector interface while it is unmated, helping reduce exposure to dust, debris and accidental contact.
ILME specifies the CHI16CP with an IP65 rating for its intended assembled configuration, while the protective cover itself is intended primarily for mechanical protection. The housing uses an NBR gasket, has a RAL 7040 grey finish and operates across a wide temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Panel-Mounted Protection for Heavy-Duty Connections
Bulkhead connector housings provide a fixed connection point on control panels, machinery and electrical equipment. The ILME CHI16CP combines a panel-mounting enclosure with four locking pegs, allowing compatible lever-equipped hoods to be securely attached while maintaining the mechanical integrity required for repeated industrial connection cycles.
When the mating connector is removed, the integrated plastic cover can be closed over the interface to provide mechanical protection. ILME notes that the cover itself does not independently provide the housing's IP65 sealing performance, so the specified environmental protection should be considered in the context of the correctly mated and locked connector assembly.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and automation systems.
- Control panels and electrical cabinets.
- Bulkhead-mounted heavy-duty connector interfaces.
- Manufacturing and production equipment.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Machine tools and industrial control equipment.
- Applications requiring protection of an unmated connector interface.
