Why Choose the ILME CAO24X C-TYPE Hood?
The ILME CAO24X, also identified as CAO 24 X, is a robust heavy-duty industrial connector hood from the ILME C-TYPE enclosure series. Designed for size 104.27 connector assemblies, it features two locking levers and a Pg21 side cable entry, providing a secure enclosure for compatible ILME connector inserts used in machinery, automation and industrial electrical systems.
The CAO24X features a high-construction design, providing additional internal space for cable termination and routing. Its twin-lever arrangement uses stainless steel and polyamide components for dependable mechanical retention, while the side-entry configuration allows convenient cable routing alongside machinery and equipment where a top-entry arrangement may be unsuitable.
With IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection ratings when correctly assembled and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C, the CAO24X is suitable for demanding industrial environments. Its size 104.27 format and Pg21 cable entry make it a practical choice for larger heavy-duty connector assemblies requiring reliable side-entry cable management.

Reliable Side-Entry Protection for Industrial Connections
Heavy-duty connector hoods protect electrical connector inserts and cable terminations while providing a secure cable interface for machinery and industrial equipment. The ILME CAO24X combines a high-construction enclosure with a Pg21 side cable entry, making it particularly useful where cables need to run alongside machinery rather than extending vertically from the connector.
The two-lever closing arrangement provides secure mating with compatible ILME connector components. When correctly assembled as part of a suitable connector system, the IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection ratings help protect connections from dust, moisture and demanding industrial environmental conditions.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Factory automation and control systems.
- Electrical and electronic equipment connections.
- Manufacturing and assembly machinery.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Heavy-duty connector assemblies requiring Pg21 side cable entry.
