Ilme CAF16 is a high-construction size 77.27 C-TYPE aluminium connector hood with four locking pegs, a frontal Pg21 cable entry and IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection when correctly assembled with compatible components.
The Ilme CAF16 is a robust industrial connector hood with four locking pegs, designed to protect compatible heavy-duty multipole connector inserts in machinery, automation and industrial electrical systems. Part of the Ilme C-TYPE enclosure series, it uses the 77.27 size format and features a high-construction design for dependable connector installations.
The CAF16 incorporates a frontal cable entry with a Pg21 adapter, providing convenient cable routing from the front of the hood. Its four integrated pegs are designed to engage with compatible lever-equipped Ilme housings, creating a secure mechanical connection while allowing the connector assembly to be readily disconnected when maintenance or equipment replacement is required.
When correctly assembled and coupled with compatible Ilme components, the CAF16 provides IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection. Its rugged aluminium construction and industrial sealing capability make it well suited to applications exposed to dust, moisture, wash-down conditions and the mechanical demands commonly encountered in manufacturing environments.
Heavy-duty multipole connectors provide a convenient way to combine power, control and signal circuits within a detachable electrical interface. A robust hood protects the connector insert and cable terminations while also forming part of the locking and sealing system required for reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
The Ilme CAF16 combines a high-profile aluminium enclosure with four locking pegs and a frontal Pg21 cable entry. When paired with a compatible Ilme housing and correctly assembled, it provides secure mechanical coupling and a high degree of environmental protection for industrial electrical connections.
