Why Choose the Ilme CKA03ILS Bulkhead Mounting Housing?

The Ilme CKA03ILS is a robust metal bulkhead mounting housing with self-closing cover designed for compact industrial multipole connector installations. Part of the Ilme CKA series, it uses the compact size 21.21 format and is specifically configured for compatible female connector inserts.

Manufactured from durable zinc die-cast metal, the CKA03ILS provides dependable mechanical protection for connector interfaces installed on machinery, control panels and industrial equipment. A rigid galvanised steel lever provides secure connector locking, while the integrated self-closing metal cover helps protect the connector interface when it is disconnected.

The housing incorporates a sealing gasket and provides IP44 protection in its standard configuration. When used with the appropriate Ilme CKR 65 sealing kit and compatible components, protection can be increased to IP66, IP67 and IP69, making this compact housing suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Connector Protection for Industrial Installations

The self-closing cover provides additional protection for the female insert when the mating connector is removed. Combined with its zinc die-cast construction, gasket and optional enhanced sealing system, the CKA03ILS provides a durable connector enclosure solution for machine building, panel building and industrial automation applications.
