Why Choose the ILME CZAO25L16 Side-Entry Hood?
The ILME CZAO25L16 is a robust high-construction heavy-duty connector hood from the ILME IL-BRID series. Designed in the size 66.16 format, it features two locking pegs and provides a dependable cable-side enclosure for compatible ILME multipole connector assemblies used in industrial machinery, automation and electrical installations.
This hood incorporates a PG16 side cable entry with adapter, allowing the cable to approach the connector from the side. This configuration is particularly useful where installation depth is limited or where cables need to run parallel to machinery, panels or enclosure surfaces.
The CZAO25L16 uses a durable aluminium enclosure construction with an NBR gasket and is designed for an ingress protection level of IP66, IP67 and IP69 when correctly assembled with compatible components. Its wide -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range supports reliable use across demanding industrial environments.

High-Construction Side-Entry Connector Protection
The high-construction design of the ILME CZAO25L16 provides additional internal space while retaining the established size 66.16 connector interface. Its side-entry arrangement helps manage cable routing efficiently, while the PG16 adapter provides a defined connection point for a suitable cable gland or cable-entry accessory.
When assembled with compatible ILME inserts, housings and sealing components, the hood forms part of a heavy-duty connector system capable of achieving IP66, IP67 and IP69 protection. The two locking pegs engage with the corresponding lever mechanism on the mating housing, providing secure mechanical coupling for industrial power, control and signal connections.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and machine tools.
- Factory automation systems.
- Control-panel and enclosure connections.
- Motor, drive and actuator cabling.
- Material handling and conveyor equipment.
- Industrial cable harness assemblies.
- Installations requiring protected side-entry cable routing.
