Why Choose the Ilme CKA03CS Metal Cover for Female Inserts?
The Ilme CKA03CS is a robust metal protective cover with two locking pegs and gasket designed for compatible female inserts in Ilme industrial multipole connector assemblies. Part of the Ilme CKA series, it uses the compact 21.21 size format and provides dependable protection for connector interfaces on machinery, automation equipment and electrical control systems.
Manufactured from zinc die-cast metal, the CKA03CS combines mechanical durability with a compact design suitable for demanding industrial installations. The integrated TPE gasket helps seal the connector interface when the cover is fitted, while the two pegs provide the mating points required for compatible lever-equipped connector housings.
The cover is finished in RAL 7040 grey and includes a retaining loop manufactured from nylon and galvanised brass. It provides IP44 protection in the standard configuration and can support IP66 / IP67 / IP69 protection when correctly used with the appropriate Ilme CKR 65 sealing accessory.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Connector Interfaces
Protective covers such as the Ilme CKA03CS help shield unmated industrial connector interfaces from environmental exposure and accidental mechanical contact. Its zinc die-cast construction provides a durable barrier, while the integrated gasket helps maintain the sealing performance of a correctly configured connector assembly.
The two-peg arrangement is designed to engage with compatible lever-equipped Ilme housings, while the retaining loop helps keep the cover attached to the equipment when the connector is in use. This makes the CKA03CS a practical accessory for machinery and control systems where connectors may be connected and disconnected during operation, servicing or maintenance.
