Why Choose the ILME CQ08VA Plastic Hood?
The ILME CQ08VA is a compact insulating plastic hood designed for ILME heavy-duty multipole connector systems. Manufactured in the size 32.13 format, it provides a lightweight and electrically insulating enclosure for compatible CQ series connector inserts used in industrial machinery, automation and control applications.
The CQ08VA features 2 locking pegs for secure engagement with a compatible single-lever housing. The exact ILME specification identifies this model as having a side cable entry with an external Pg16 thread, providing a right-angle cable routing option where installation space or equipment layout makes side entry preferable.
When correctly assembled, mated and locked with compatible ILME components, the CQ08VA provides IP66, IP67 and IP69 ingress protection. Its compact insulating construction makes it particularly suitable for space-conscious industrial installations requiring robust environmental protection and a detachable multipole electrical interface.

Compact Insulating Protection for Industrial Connections
The ILME CQ08VA provides a compact enclosure solution for compatible CQ series multipole inserts. Its insulating plastic construction protects the connector assembly while keeping overall size and weight low, making the hood particularly useful on smaller machines, control equipment and automation devices where installation space is limited.
Unlike the CQ08V, which uses a Pg21 top entry, the CQ08VA is the Pg16 side-entry version. This configuration allows the cable to leave the connector laterally and can simplify cable management where vertical clearance is restricted. A suitable cable gland should be selected separately for the Pg16 entry and application requirements.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Factory automation and control systems.
- Compact machine electrical interfaces.
- Control panels and distributed equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Industrial installations requiring compact side-entry multipole connections.
