Ordering & Compatibility Notes

• Housing only: CHI06LS is a base / housing and does not include the inserts / contacts or mating hood.
• To create a full connector, you must select compatible 6‑pole female or male inserts and a matching hood / cable side housing.
• The protective cover helps maintain sealing when the connector is not mated, but full ingress protection depends on gaskets, proper alignment, and torque in assembled state.
• Confirm that your panel cut‑out and mounting hole pattern match ILME’s datasheet for 44.27 bases.
