Product Details
- Panel / Enclosure Integration: Ideal for routing signals or power through the walls of machines, panels, or control cabinets.
- Double-module capacity: Allows connecting two inserts side by side, increasing channel density in a single housing footprint.
- Reliable clamping force: Dual-lever design ensures secure mating even with repeated connect / disconnect cycles.
- High environmental protection: Sealed to resist dust and water when properly assembled and sealed.
- Robust construction: Die-cast aluminium body resists mechanical stress and harsh industrial conditions.
- Modular connector system: Works with ILME C‑Type modular inserts and hoods to build flexible connection architectures.
- Housing only: The ILME CHI32 (or variant) is just the housing / base — it does not include the inserts, contacts, or mating hood / shell.
- To assemble a complete connector, you’ll need:
1. Matching modular inserts (male or female) sized to 77.5 × 27 mm (double module)
2. A cable-side hood or counterpart housing of compatible dimension and locking style
3. Proper gasket / sealing, alignment, and installation torque to achieve rated ingress protection - Be sure to select the correct lever variant (1‑lever, 2‑lever, covered) that fits your application.
- Confirm panel cut-out and mounting hole dimensions from datasheet to ensure proper fit.
ILME CHI32 / CHI‑32 Bulkhead Mount Housing (C‑Type Series) — Size 77.62, 2 Levers / Variants
HDC Chi 32 L ILME Enclosure
Product Overview
The ILME CHI32 (also marketed as CHI‑32, CHI‑32L for single‑lever, or CHI‑32LS for lever + cover) is a heavy‑duty bulkhead / panel‑mount housing (base) for modular rectangular connectors in the ILME C‑Type family. It is designed to be mounted through a panel wall and accepts matching inserts to form a rugged, sealed connector interface.
This housing is a “double‑size” unit: it spans two adjacent modular positions (two 77.5 × 27 mm insert footprints side by side). It is typically offered with two levers for secure locking, but variants exist with one lever and/or a protective cover. )
