ILME CHC10 Dust Cover

ILME CHC10 Dust / Protection Cover — Product Description

Product Name: ILME CHC10
Also Known As: CHC‑10, CHC 10 Protection Cover, Dust Cap with Pegs
Series / Type: ILME C‑Type modular connector accessory (protection cover)

Overview

The ILME CHC10 is a metal dust / protection cover designed to cap an ILME C‑Type connector (size 57 × 27 mm interface) when the connector is not mated. It helps prevent ingress of dust, moisture, and foreign objects into the connector housing, maintaining reliability and protection in industrial settings.

This cover is often used in conjunction with matching bases or hoods in harsh environments, enabling you to maintain a sealed system even when a mating half is temporarily removed.

Key Features & Specifications

Benefits & Use Cases

• Protection when unmated: Maintains sealing and prevents contaminants from entering the connector when the mating half is removed.
• Robust in harsh environments: Metal construction and gasket options help preserve IP protection in dusty, wet, or industrial settings.
• Easy integration: Designed to fit directly onto the matching ILME C‑Type connector housings with peg alignment.
• Long service life: Compatible with frequent mating cycles when used correctly in the ILME modular connector system.

Ordering & Compatibility Notes

• The CHC10 is only the cover / cap — it does not include contacts, inserts, or the mating connector half.
• To use it effectively, pair it with a compatible ILME C‑Type housing or base of the same footprint (57 × 27 mm).
• For improved sealing, choose the CHC10C variant, which includes a gasket.
• Ensure correct orientation and alignment of the pegs to the base or housing to maintain sealing.
• Check the IP rating compatibility under your assembled conditions (with gasket, proper torque, etc.).
