When a machine cable is unplugged for a move or service, its connector hood needs a lid to keep coolant, dust and washdown water off the contacts. The Techspan EL10SL is a single-lever protective cover for 10-pole plus ground heavy-duty rectangular connectors (size 57.27), made for hoods that have two pegs. It is the Techspan equivalent of the ILME CHC 10 LG, with an epoxy-coated die-cast aluminum body and gasket.
Why maintenance techs pick it
- Single lever locks onto the two pegs of a 10-pole hood.
- Gasketed epoxy-coated die-cast aluminum body stands up to plant floors.
- IP66 protection when latched, per ILME data for the CHC 10 LG.
- Rated from -40°C to +125°C.
- Interchangeable with ILME C-type size 57.27 parts.

Pro tip from the counter
The IP66 seal only works if the gasket closes on a clean face. Before snapping the lever shut, wipe grit and dried coolant off the hood's sealing edge, because one grain of debris on the gasket leaves a gap that washdown water will find.
Best for: machine tool and robot cabling, packaging and conveyor lines, portable equipment moved between stations, food plant washdown areas
