Why Choose the ILME CKA03VAS Metal Hood with Side Entry?
The ILME CKA03VAS, manufacturer designation CKA 03 VAS, is a compact and robust metal industrial connector hood designed for ILME size 21.21 multipole connector assemblies. As part of the ILME CKA series, it combines durable zinc die-cast construction with a side-entry cable arrangement for reliable connections in industrial machinery, automation and electrical installations.
This hood features two locking pegs for coupling with a compatible lever-equipped ILME housing and a side-entry PG11 cable connection. The angled cable-entry configuration is particularly useful where installation space or cable routing makes a straight top-entry hood impractical.
Manufactured from zinc die-cast metal with a RAL 7040 grey finish, the CKA03VAS provides excellent mechanical durability in a compact size 21.21 format. The connector system provides IP44 protection as standard and can achieve IP66, IP67 and IP69 protection with the compatible ILME CKR 65 accessory, while its -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range supports demanding industrial environments.
Key Advantages

- Compatible with suitable ILME size 21.21 inserts and connector housings.
Robust Side-Entry Connectivity for Industrial Equipment
Metal connector hoods provide mechanical protection and a secure cable entry point for multipole connections used throughout industrial machinery and automation systems. The ILME CKA03VAS combines a compact size 21.21 interface with a side-entry PG11 connection, allowing cables to approach the connector at an angle rather than extending directly from the top.
The zinc die-cast body provides a durable enclosure for compatible connector inserts, while the two integrated pegs engage with the locking lever of a matching housing. This arrangement creates a secure yet serviceable connection suitable for applications requiring repeated coupling and uncoupling, with a mechanical life of at least 500 mating cycles.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery connections.
- Factory automation equipment.
- Electrical control systems and panels.
- Production and packaging machinery.
- Machine power, control and signal connections.
- Robotics and automated equipment.
- Applications requiring compact side-entry cable routing.
