Why Choose the ILME CQ08VG Plastic Hood?
The ILME CQ08VG is a compact insulating thermoplastic connector hood designed for ILME CQ series heavy-duty multipole connector systems. Manufactured in the size 32.13 format, it combines a lightweight insulating enclosure with an integral single locking lever for secure mating in industrial machinery, automation and control applications.
The CQ08VG features a Pg21 top cable entry, with the Pg male thread positioned externally on the enclosure. This straight-entry configuration provides convenient cable routing and can be used with a suitable Pg21 cable gland arrangement, including ILME accessories designed for the CQ enclosure family.
When correctly assembled, mated and locked with compatible components, the CQ08VG provides IP66, IP67 and IP69 ingress protection. Its thermoplastic construction, broad -40 to +125 °C operating temperature range and compact dimensions make it suitable for demanding industrial installations where space, environmental protection and reliable connector locking are important.

Compact Protection with Integral Lever Locking
The ILME CQ08VG provides a compact enclosure solution for compatible CQ series connector inserts while incorporating the locking lever directly into the hood. This configuration allows the hood to engage with a compatible enclosure fitted with locking pegs, creating a secure detachable electrical interface for machinery and automation equipment.
The Pg21 top-entry configuration routes the cable directly from the upper section of the hood and is suitable where a straight cable approach is preferred. Combined with its insulating thermoplastic construction and high ingress protection when properly assembled, the CQ08VG provides a practical solution for compact industrial connector installations.
