Why Choose the ILME CZAO15L21 Side-Entry Hood?
The ILME CZAO15L21 is a robust side-entry hood with two locking pegs, designed for heavy-duty multipole connector assemblies in industrial machinery, automation and electrical equipment. Its size 49.16 format provides a compact enclosure solution for compatible ILME inserts and bulkhead housings.
This hood features a PG21 side cable entry, allowing the incoming cable to run parallel to the connector interface rather than entering from the top. This arrangement is particularly useful where installation depth is restricted or where cable routing needs to remain close to a machine, enclosure or panel surface.
The two-peg locking arrangement is designed to mate with a compatible ILME housing equipped with locking levers, helping create a secure connector assembly for demanding industrial environments. The hood's metal construction provides the mechanical protection required for reliable cable-to-equipment connections.

Compact Side-Entry Cable Routing
A side-entry hood such as the ILME CZAO15L21 is particularly useful when cables cannot conveniently approach a connector from directly behind or above. The PG21 side entry enables the cable to be routed along the equipment surface, helping reduce the installation depth required behind the connector.
When combined with the appropriate ILME insert, cable gland and mating housing, the CZAO15L21 forms part of a robust detachable connector system for power, control and signal circuits. The two locking pegs engage with the levers on the corresponding housing to provide secure mechanical coupling.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and machine tools.
- Factory automation equipment.
- Control-panel and enclosure connections.
- Motor and drive cabling.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Industrial cable harnesses.
- Installations requiring compact side-entry cable routing.
