Why Choose the ILME CAO16L21 Hood with Pg21 Side Entry?
The ILME CAO16L21 is a heavy-duty connector hood with two locking pegs and a lateral Pg21 cable entry, designed for compatible ILME industrial connector assemblies in size 77.27. Its side-entry configuration provides a practical solution where cable routing needs to run parallel to the mating face rather than entering from above.
Designed for industrial power, control and automation connections, the CAO16L21 combines a robust hood format with two locking pegs for secure coupling to a compatible ILME housing fitted with the corresponding locking levers. The Pg21 threaded cable entry supports installation of a suitable cable gland or cable-entry accessory for the required cable diameter.
The 77.27 enclosure size allows the hood to be used with compatible ILME heavy-duty connector inserts and counterpart housings of the same format. This modular construction makes the CAO16L21 suitable for machine building, factory automation, control panels and other industrial installations requiring dependable detachable electrical connections.
Key Advantages
- Lateral Pg21 cable entry supports convenient side-entry cable routing.
- Two locking pegs provide secure coupling with compatible ILME lever housings.
- Size 77.27 format supports compatible ILME heavy-duty connector inserts.
- Side-entry construction can simplify cable routing in installations with restricted overhead clearance.
- Robust enclosure design protects connector inserts and terminations from mechanical exposure.
- Suitable for industrial power, control, signal and automation connections.
- Modular design allows combination with compatible ILME housings, inserts and cable-entry accessories.
Key Features
- ILME heavy-duty connector hood.
- Manufacturer part number CAO16L21 / CAO 16 L21.
- Size 77.27 enclosure format.
- Two locking pegs.
- Side / lateral cable entry.
- Pg21 cable-entry thread.
- Designed for compatible ILME heavy-duty connector inserts.
- Suitable for detachable industrial electrical connections.
- Ideal where side-entry cable routing is preferred over top entry.
- Suitable for machine building, control panels and factory automation systems.
Practical Side-Entry Connectivity for Industrial Equipment
Side-entry connector hoods are particularly useful where machinery layouts, enclosure positioning or restricted installation space make a conventional top-entry cable route impractical. The ILME CAO16L21 directs the incoming cable through a lateral Pg21 entry, helping installers achieve an organised cable path while maintaining a detachable heavy-duty connector interface.
When combined with the appropriate ILME insert, mating housing and cable-entry components, the CAO16L21 forms part of a modular industrial connector assembly suitable for carrying power, control or signal circuits. Its 77.27 format and two-peg locking arrangement make it a practical enclosure component for reliable machinery and automation connectivity.
