Why Choose the ILME CKA03VS Metal Hood?
The ILME CKA03VS is a robust metal connector hood designed to protect industrial multipole connector inserts and provide a secure cable entry point in machinery, automation and electrical installations. As part of the ILME CKA series, this compact hood is manufactured from zinc alloy and is designed for size 21.21 connector assemblies.
The CKA03VS features a top-entry Pg11 cable opening and a closing arrangement with two pegs for compatibility with corresponding ILME locking housings. Its durable metal construction provides mechanical protection for connector terminations while supporting reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
Designed for compact installations, the CKA03VS offers an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C and can provide protection up to IP66, IP67 and IP69 when used with the appropriate CKR 65 sealing accessory. Its size 21.21 format makes it particularly suitable where installation space is limited.
