Why Choose the Ilme CKF04RY High-Temperature Female Connector Insert?
The Ilme CKF04RY is a high-temperature female multipole connector insert designed for reliable electrical connections in demanding industrial machinery and equipment. Part of the Ilme CK RY series, it provides 4 poles plus protective earth (4P+PE) in the compact size 21.21 connector format.
Unlike standard CK inserts, the CKF04RY uses a high-temperature polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) insulating body, commonly associated with Ryton-type high-temperature materials, and is suitable for applications at temperatures up to 180 °C. The insert incorporates turned silver-plated copper-alloy female contacts and dependable screw terminal connections for straightforward industrial wiring.
Rated at 10 A and 230/400 V with a 4 kV rated impulse withstand voltage at pollution degree 3, the CKF04RY is designed for demanding power, auxiliary and control connections. Its screw terminals accommodate conductors from 0.75–2.5 mm², while the compact 21.21 format allows integration with compatible high-temperature Ilme connector enclosures.

Reliable Connections for High-Temperature Industrial Applications
Industrial connector inserts used near heaters, ovens and other high-temperature processes require insulating materials capable of maintaining their mechanical and electrical properties at elevated temperatures. The Ilme CKF04RY uses a PPS insulating body and is specified for operation from -40 °C to +180 °C, making it suitable for applications beyond the temperature capability of conventional connector inserts.
The combination of screw terminals, silver-plated female contacts and a dedicated protective earth connection provides a robust and service-friendly electrical interface. When correctly installed in a compatible Ilme high-temperature size 21.21 enclosure, the CKF04RY provides a compact detachable connection for power, auxiliary and control circuits in demanding industrial equipment.
Typical Applications
- Industrial ovens and heating equipment.
- High-temperature machinery and process equipment.
- Packaging machinery with heated processing sections.
- Industrial heaters and thermal processing systems.
- Automation equipment operating in elevated-temperature environments.
- OEM machinery requiring compact high-temperature detachable connections.
