Why Choose the Ilme CKH03CS Hygienic Protective Cover?
The Ilme CKH03CS is a compact thermoplastic hygienic protective cover with 2 locking pegs, designed for female connector inserts in Ilme size 21.21 industrial multipole connector assemblies. Part of the CKH Hygienic series, it combines a smooth polyamide construction with a silicone rubber gasket and retaining loop for applications where cleanability and reliable connector protection are important.
The CKH03CS is specifically designed for female inserts and incorporates a gasket to protect the connector interface while it is unmated. Its loop retention system, manufactured using stainless steel and galvanised brass components, helps keep the cover attached to the installation and readily available when the connector needs to be protected.
The cover provides IP44 protection as standard and can support IP66 / IP67 / IP69 when correctly used with the appropriate CKRH 65 or CKRH 65 D sealing kit and compatible components. Its operating temperature range of -40 °C to +70 °C makes it suitable for hygienic machinery, production equipment and other demanding industrial installations.

Hygienic Protection for Unmated Female Inserts
Connector interfaces on hygienic machinery can be exposed to contamination whenever equipment is disconnected for cleaning, maintenance or production changes. The Ilme CKH03CS provides a dedicated protective barrier over compatible female inserts, while its thermoplastic construction and silicone gasket support use within Ilme's specialised CKH Hygienic enclosure system.
The integrated retaining loop keeps the cover close to the connection point when the connector is in use, reducing the risk of the cover being lost during servicing. Where greater environmental sealing is required, compatible CKRH 65 or CKRH 65 D kits allow the correctly assembled connector system to reach IP66, IP67 and IP69 protection levels.
