Why Choose the Ilme CKH03CX Hygienic Protective Cover?
The Ilme CKH03CX is a compact thermoplastic hygienic protective cover with one locking lever, designed for female connector inserts in Ilme size 21.21 industrial multipole connector assemblies. Part of the CKH Hygienic series, it combines a polyamide body, polypropylene lever, silicone rubber gasket and retaining loop to protect compatible connector interfaces while unmated.
Designed specifically for female inserts, the CKH03CX uses a single lever to secure the cover to compatible peg-equipped connector enclosures. The integrated gasket provides additional sealing at the mating interface, while the retaining loop keeps the cover conveniently attached to the installation when the electrical connector is in use.
The CKH03CX provides IP44 protection as standard and supports IP66 / IP67 / IP69 protection when correctly assembled with the appropriate CKRH 65 or CKRH 65 D sealing kit and compatible components. Its hygienic thermoplastic construction makes it particularly suitable for machinery and production equipment where cleanability and dependable connector protection are important.

Hygienic Protection for Unmated Female Inserts
Industrial connector interfaces can be exposed to contamination whenever machinery is disconnected for cleaning, servicing or production changeovers. The Ilme CKH03CX provides a dedicated protective barrier for compatible female inserts, with its polyamide body and silicone gasket helping protect the connector interface while it remains unmated.
The single-lever design makes the cover suitable for mating with compatible peg-equipped enclosures, while the retaining loop keeps it close to the connection point when removed. For installations requiring increased environmental sealing, the CKRH 65 and CKRH 65 D accessory kits enable higher ingress protection when the complete connector system is correctly configured.
