CK03VAN Ilme Hood plastic side entry PG11 Size 21.21 black
Ilme CK03VAN is a black thermoplastic size 21.21 industrial connector hood with two locking pegs and a PG11 side cable entry for compact multipole connector installations.
Why Choose the Ilme CK03VAN Plastic Side Entry Hood?
The Ilme CK03VAN is a compact thermoplastic multipole connector hood designed for industrial electrical connections where space-saving cable routing and dependable mechanical protection are required. Part of the Ilme CK series, this hood uses the compact size 21.21 format and provides a practical enclosure solution for compatible Ilme connector inserts.
Its angled configuration incorporates a PG11 side cable entry, allowing the cable to leave the connector at approximately 90° rather than continuing straight from the top. This makes the CK03VAN particularly useful in machinery, control equipment and compact installations where available cable-routing space is limited.
The hood is manufactured from durable black insulating thermoplastic and incorporates two locking pegs for mating with a compatible single-lever Ilme housing. In its standard configuration it provides IP44 protection, with higher IP66, IP67 and IP69 protection achievable when used with the appropriate Ilme CKR 65 sealing kit and compatible components.

Reliable Connector Protection and Cable Routing
Industrial multipole connector hoods protect the termination area of a connector while providing a controlled entry point for the connected cable. The Ilme CK03VAN combines this protective function with an angled side-entry arrangement, helping cables to be routed neatly where clearance behind or above a connector is restricted.
The compact CK thermoplastic enclosure system is well suited to machinery and automation installations requiring small, easily disconnectable electrical interfaces. When the CK03VAN is correctly assembled with compatible Ilme inserts, housings and sealing accessories, it provides a robust connector solution suitable for repeated industrial use.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and automation equipment.
- Control panels and electrical cabinets.
- Compact multipole power and signal connections.
- Machine sensors, actuators and auxiliary equipment.
- OEM machinery and production equipment.
- Installations requiring angled or side-entry cable routing.
