    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. )


    Key Features & Specifications

    Feature Description / Value
    Series / Family ILME C‑Type heavy duty connector housings
    Mounting Format Bulkhead / panel mount (through panel wall)
    Shell / Module Size 77.62 mm (double‑size “77.5 mm modular pitch”) )
    Locking / Levers Standard: 2 levers for clamping; variants: 1 lever (e.g. CHI‑32L / CHI‑32LS) or lever + cover options
    Body Material & Finish Epoxy-coated die-cast aluminium housing for durability and corrosion resistance
    Ingress Protection IP65 / IP66 (when mated and correctly sealed)
    Operating Temperature –40 °C to +125 °C (typical industrial range)
    Mechanical Durability Designed for many mating cycles with consistent clamping force provided by stainless steel locking elements
    Insert Capacity / Center Distance Holds two inserts side by side — effectively two 77.5 × 27 mm modules. Some datasheets list “2 x (77.5 × 27)” insert layout. )
    Approved Insert Compatibility Compatible with many C‑Type / ILME modules (e.g. CQE 32, CD / CDF, CNE / CSE etc) in double size format.

    Benefits & Use Cases

    • 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.

    Ordering & Compatibility Notes

    • 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.
