Side Entry Connector Hood · 3/4 in NPT cable entry, size 77.27, 4 pegs, IP65/IP66/IP69 - ILME CHOT16.5
Side entry hood for ILME size 77.27 rectangular connector assemblies with 3/4 in NPT cable entry and 4-peg locking. Commonly used on industrial power and control connections where a sealed metal hood is required; verify insert and housing compatibility before ordering.
What this product is for
This side entry connector hood is used to complete an ILME rectangular heavy-duty connector assembly. It provides a 3/4 in NPT cable entry and mates with compatible size 77.27 housings and inserts in industrial wiring applications.
Use for
Use for machinery connections, control panels, automation equipment, and other industrial power or signal terminations where a metal hood with environmental sealing is required. It is commonly selected when cable routing needs to enter from the side rather than the top.
Avoid for
Avoid for assemblies that require a different hood size, a top-entry configuration, or a cable entry thread other than 3/4 in NPT. Do not assume insert pole count from the hood alone; confirm the matching insert and enclosure series.
Best for
Best for electricians and OEM panel builders standardizing on ILME size 77.27 connector systems and needing a side-entry hood with 4-peg locking and high ingress protection.
Installed in
Typically installed on industrial equipment, skids, conveyors, motor connections, and control cabinets. The 3/4 in NPT thread is approximately 26.7 mm nominal trade size and suits common threaded cable entry hardware used in North American installations.
Why this product exists
This hood allows a rectangular connector assembly to be terminated and protected where cable approach, enclosure clearance, or conduit layout makes side entry the practical choice. The metal body and rated sealing help support reliable connections in washdown or dusty environments when assembled correctly.
Compared with similar products
Compared with top-entry hoods, this version helps when cable bend radius or panel clearance favours side cable routing. Compared with other hood sizes, size 77.27 must match the corresponding base and insert family. As a typical buying rule, confirm hood size, locking style, and cable entry thread first, then verify the insert configuration separately.
Actual sealing and fit depend on the complete connector assembly, cable gland selection, and installation conditions.
