Bulkhead Housing · 10-pole · single lever · CHI10L Industria Lombarda Materiale Elettrico
10-pole bulkhead housing for heavy-duty rectangular connector installations, with single-lever locking for panel mounting. Commonly used with ILME C-Type inserts in industrial control panels and machinery where a sealed, secure connector housing is required.
What this product is for
This bulkhead housing is used to mount a heavy-duty rectangular connector interface through a panel or enclosure wall. It provides the fixed housing side for compatible ILME C-Type connector inserts in industrial and commercial electrical assemblies.
Use for
Use for panel-mounted multipole connector terminations on machinery, automation equipment, control panels, and OEM assemblies. It is suited to applications that need a compact metal housing with latch retention and environmental sealing when paired with compatible mating components.
Avoid for
Avoid using this housing where a complete connector set is required unless you are also selecting the matching insert, hood, contacts, and accessories. Do not assume pole count alone confirms compatibility; verify ILME series, housing size, insert format, and sealing arrangement before ordering.
Best for
Best for electricians, panel builders, and maintenance teams standardizing on ILME heavy-duty connector systems for serviceable equipment connections. A single-lever design is commonly chosen where quick mating and straightforward access are needed.
Installed in
Typically installed in control cabinets, machine frames, process equipment, and industrial enclosures. Panel-mount format is intended for fixed mounting through a cutout rather than free-hanging cable entry.
Why this product exists
This housing provides a protected, repeatable connector mounting point for heavy-duty applications. Compared with hard-wired terminations, this style helps simplify equipment assembly, replacement, and service access.
Compared with similar products
Compared with cable-mount hoods, a bulkhead housing is the fixed panel-side component. Compared with plastic housings, this model uses an aluminium body typically selected for mechanical protection in industrial environments. Always match it to the correct ILME insert family and mating hood size.
