Why Choose the ILME CAO50X C-TYPE Hood?
The ILME CAO50X is a robust industrial connector hood designed to provide reliable mechanical protection for multipole electrical connector assemblies in demanding industrial environments. As part of the ILME C-TYPE enclosure series, it features a high-construction aluminium body, two locking levers and a side cable entry for secure integration into machinery, automation and industrial equipment.
This hood is manufactured for size 66.40 connector inserts and uses a Pg21 side cable entry with adapter. Its two-lever closing system provides secure mating with compatible connector housings, while stainless-steel and polyamide lever components help provide dependable operation during repeated connection and disconnection cycles.
With protection ratings of IP65, IP66 and IP69 when correctly assembled with compatible components, the CAO50X is suitable for installations exposed to dust, water and demanding operating conditions. Its broad operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C further supports use across industrial machinery, manufacturing systems and harsh-environment electrical installations.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Connector Systems
Heavy-duty connector hoods such as the ILME CAO50X protect electrical connector inserts and terminations while providing a secure mechanical interface between cables and mating connector housings. The high-construction format provides additional internal space for cable routing and termination while the side-entry configuration helps accommodate installations where vertical cable access is restricted.
The C-TYPE enclosure system is designed for industrial connector applications requiring robust construction, secure locking and resistance to environmental exposure. When the CAO50X is correctly paired with compatible ILME components, its high ingress-protection capability makes it suitable for machinery, control equipment and industrial installations subject to dust, moisture and wash-down conditions.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and automation systems.
- Manufacturing and production equipment.
- Control panels and electrical distribution assemblies.
- Motor and machine connection systems.
- Material handling and conveyor equipment.
- Industrial installations requiring high ingress protection.
