Why Choose the ILME CKH03C Hygienic Thermoplastic Cover?
The ILME CKH03C, manufacturer designation CKH 03 C, is a compact hygienic thermoplastic protective cover designed for female inserts in ILME size 21.21 connector assemblies. Part of the ILME CKH-MKH Hygienic series, it provides a practical protective solution for industrial connector interfaces used in applications where cleanliness, dependable sealing and easy maintenance are important.
The CKH03C features two locking pegs and is specifically configured for female inserts. It is supplied with a gasket and eyelet cord, allowing the cover to remain associated with the connector assembly when opened while helping protect the connector interface when it is not mated.
