Why Choose the Ilme CKAW03V Metal Hood?
The Ilme CKAW03V is a compact metal industrial connector hood from the Ilme W-TYPE series, developed for demanding and aggressive operating environments. Featuring a size 21.21 interface, two locking pegs and a Pg11 top cable entry, it provides a durable enclosure for compatible Ilme compact multipole connector inserts.
Manufactured from zinc die-cast metal and finished in RAL 9005 black, the CKAW03V combines robust mechanical construction with the corrosion-resistant characteristics associated with Ilme W-TYPE enclosures. Its top-entry configuration provides straightforward cable routing while the two integral pegs engage with compatible lever-equipped housings.
The CKAW03V provides IP44 protection in its standard configuration and can achieve IP66 / IP67 / IP69 when correctly assembled with the appropriate CKR 65 sealing kit and compatible components. With a wide -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range, it is suitable for demanding industrial machinery and automation installations.

W-TYPE Protection for Demanding Industrial Environments
Industrial connectors used in aggressive environments require enclosure materials and finishes capable of supporting reliable service despite exposure to challenging operating conditions. The Ilme CKAW03V belongs to the W-TYPE family and combines a zinc die-cast body with a black finish to provide a robust compact connector enclosure for such installations.
Its top Pg11 entry provides a direct route for incoming cable, while the two locking pegs allow secure mating with a compatible lever-equipped enclosure. When higher environmental sealing is required, the CKR 65 accessory can be incorporated into the compatible connector assembly to increase protection to IP66, IP67 and IP69.
