CHOW16 Ilme Hood 4 pegs side entry PG21 Size 77.27
Ilme CHOW16 is a size 77.27 W-TYPE heavy-duty connector hood with four locking pegs, a PG21 side cable entry and IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection when correctly assembled.
Why Choose the Ilme CHOW16 Side-Entry Hood?
The Ilme CHOW16 is a robust heavy-duty rectangular connector hood designed for industrial cable assemblies requiring dependable environmental protection and convenient side cable routing. Part of the Ilme W-TYPE series, it combines the size 77.27 enclosure format with four locking pegs and a PG21 side cable entry.
The side-entry configuration allows the connected cable to run away from the connector horizontally, helping reduce installation height and simplify cable routing around machinery, control panels and other restricted spaces. Its four locking pegs are designed for engagement with compatible Ilme housings equipped with two locking levers, providing secure and balanced mechanical coupling.
The CHOW16 supports IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection when correctly assembled with compatible Ilme components and suitable cable-entry hardware. With a broad -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range and rugged industrial construction, it provides a reliable enclosure solution for power, control and signal connections in demanding machinery and automation applications.
