Why Choose the ILME CK03VGN Plastic Hood with Lever?
The ILME CK03VGN, manufacturer designation CK 03 VGN, is a compact plastic industrial connector hood with locking lever designed for ILME size 21.21 connector assemblies. Part of the ILME CK series, this jet-black hood combines a compact footprint with a top-entry cable arrangement for machinery, automation and industrial electrical installations.
The CK03VGN features a top-entry PG11 cable entry, allowing cable routing directly through the top of the hood. Its single-lever closing arrangement provides convenient and secure coupling with a compatible ILME housing, while the insulating construction makes it particularly suitable for compact industrial connector applications.
Manufactured in a RAL 9005 black finish, the CK03VGN uses the compact size 21.21 format and measures approximately 32 × 24 × 52 mm. The ILME CK enclosure family provides IP44 protection in standard configurations, with higher IP66 / IP67 / IP69 protection available for compatible assemblies when the appropriate ILME CKR 65 sealing kit is used.
