CHIR24 Ilme Bulkhead housing 2 levers Size 104.27
Ilme CHIR24 is a C-TYPE size 104.27 bulkhead mounting industrial connector housing with two locking levers and IP65 / IP66 / IP69 protection for compatible Ilme heavy-duty connector systems.
Why Choose the Ilme CHIR24 Bulkhead Housing?
The Ilme CHIR24, also designated CHI 24, is a robust C-TYPE bulkhead mounting connector housing with two levers, designed for heavy-duty multipole connector installations in industrial machinery, automation systems and electrical control equipment. With its 104.27 size, it provides a secure fixed mounting interface for compatible Ilme rectangular connector inserts and mating enclosures.
The CHIR24 features a dual-lever locking system using stainless steel levers with polyamide components, providing reliable mechanical retention while allowing straightforward connection and disconnection during installation and maintenance. Its bulkhead mounting format installs directly onto a machine panel or electrical enclosure without requiring a cable entry in the housing.
When correctly assembled with compatible Ilme connector components, the CHIR24 provides IP65 / IP66 / IP69 protection. An NBR gasket, rugged industrial construction and a wide -40 to +125 °C operating temperature range make it well suited to demanding manufacturing, machinery and automation environments.
