Why Choose the Ilme CKA03I Metal Bulkhead Housing?
The Ilme CKA03I is a compact and durable metal bulkhead mounting housing designed for industrial multipole connector installations in machinery, automation systems and electrical control equipment. Part of the Ilme CKA series, it uses the compact 21.21 size format and provides a robust panel-mounted interface for compatible Ilme connector inserts.
The CKA03I features a single galvanised steel locking lever that securely retains a compatible mating hood or connector assembly. Its die-cast aluminium body is protected by an epoxy-coated finish, providing a strong enclosure suitable for repeated use in industrial environments while maintaining a compact footprint.
Designed specifically for bulkhead / panel mounting, the CKA03I has no cable entry because wiring passes through the panel into the connector insert. The housing provides IP44 protection in its standard configuration and can achieve IP66 / IP67 / IP69 protection when correctly assembled with the appropriate Ilme CKR 65 sealing kit and compatible mating components.

Reliable Panel-Mounted Industrial Connectivity
Bulkhead connector housings such as the Ilme CKA03I provide a secure interface between internal electrical wiring and detachable external cables. The housing mounts directly to an equipment panel or enclosure, allowing a compatible multipole insert to provide the electrical connection while the metal housing protects and mechanically supports the connector assembly.
The compact 21.21 format makes the CKA03I particularly useful where panel space is limited. Its single locking lever enables straightforward connection and disconnection while maintaining secure mating, making the housing suitable for machinery that requires dependable but serviceable electrical interfaces.
