Why Choose the Ilme CKAX03APS Angled Metal Housing?
The Ilme CKAX03APS is a compact and robust angled surface mounting metal housing designed for industrial multipole connector installations in machinery, automation equipment and electrical control systems. Part of the Ilme CKA series, it uses the compact size 21.21 connector format and combines a zinc die-cast body with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel locking lever.
The CKAX03APS features a Pg 11 threaded cable entry and a closed bulkhead hole, providing an angled surface-mounted enclosure that supports efficient cable routing in installations where space is restricted. Its single stainless steel lever provides secure and convenient mating with compatible Ilme connector components.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the housing has an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C and is rated for at least 500 mating cycles. It provides IP44 protection as standard, with IP66 / IP67 / IP69 protection achievable when correctly configured with the appropriate Ilme CKR 65 sealing kit.

Robust Angled Connectivity for Industrial Equipment
Angled connector housings such as the Ilme CKAX03APS provide a practical solution where industrial cabling needs to be routed close to a machine, enclosure or mounting surface. The angled Pg 11 cable entry helps reduce the clearance required compared with straight-entry connector arrangements while maintaining a robust mechanical interface for compatible multipole inserts.
The zinc die-cast housing provides durable mechanical protection, while the stainless steel lever offers enhanced corrosion resistance for demanding industrial applications. Combined with the modular Ilme CKA connector system, the CKAX03APS provides a dependable and serviceable interface for machine builders, panel manufacturers and automation engineers.
