Why Choose the Ilme CAV16.21 Hood?
The Ilme CAV16.21, supplied under SKU CAV1621, is a heavy-duty C-TYPE industrial connector hood designed for reliable multipole electrical connections in machinery, automation and industrial control applications. It features four locking pegs, Ilme size 77.27 and a Pg21 top cable entry, providing a robust enclosure for compatible Ilme connector inserts.
The CAV16.21 uses a high-construction design, providing useful internal space for connector wiring and cable termination. Its Pg21 top entry allows the cable to approach the connector vertically, while the four locking pegs are designed to engage with the corresponding levers of a compatible Ilme housing for secure mechanical coupling.
Designed for demanding industrial installations, the CAV16.21 provides IP65 / IP66 / IP69 protection when correctly assembled with compatible components. It has a RAL 7040 grey finish, weighs 215 g and is specified for an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Connections
Industrial connector hoods protect compatible connector inserts while providing a defined entry point for the associated cabling. The Ilme CAV16.21 combines a Pg21 top entry with a high-construction size 77.27 enclosure, allowing vertical cable routing while providing space for compatible multipole connector inserts and their wiring.
The hood's four locking pegs engage with the corresponding levers on a compatible Ilme housing, creating a secure mechanical connection. This arrangement keeps the connector assembly firmly coupled during normal operation while still permitting convenient disconnection for installation, servicing, maintenance or equipment replacement.
Typical Applications

- Factory automation and production equipment.
- Control panels and electrical cabinets.
- Motor and actuator connection systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Industrial power, control and signal connections.
- Heavy-duty multipole connector assemblies.
