CKA03CAS Ilme Metal cover with pegs for male inserts Size 21.21
Ilme CKA03CAS is a size 21.21 zinc die-cast protective cover with two pegs and a retaining loop for compatible male industrial connector inserts.
Why Choose the Ilme CKA03CAS Metal Cover?
The Ilme CKA03CAS is a compact zinc die-cast protective cover with 2 pegs for male connector inserts in Ilme size 21.21 industrial multipole connector assemblies. Part of the CKA series, it protects the mating face of a compatible male insert while the connector is disconnected.
Unlike the eyelet-equipped CKA03CA variant, the CKA03CAS is supplied with a practical retaining loop. The loop uses nylon and galvanised brass components, helping keep the protective cover associated with the connector assembly during operation, servicing and equipment changes.
The CKA03CAS provides IP44 protection in the standard connector system and can support IP66 / IP67 / IP69 protection when used with the appropriate CKR 65 sealing kit and compatible components. Its robust zinc die-cast construction and wide -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range make it suitable for demanding machinery and automation environments.

- RoHS compliant and REACH SVHC-free.
Durable Protection for Unmated Male Inserts
Industrial connector inserts can be exposed to dust, moisture and accidental contact whenever machinery is disconnected. The Ilme CKA03CAS covers the exposed male insert and provides a durable physical barrier, helping preserve the connector interface between mating cycles.
The integrated loop is particularly useful on cable-mounted hoods and other installations where the cover needs to remain attached and readily available. For installations requiring enhanced environmental sealing, the compatible CKR 65 sealing kit enables the size 21.21 system to achieve higher IP protection when correctly assembled.
Typical Applications
- Protection of unmated male industrial connector inserts.
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Factory automation systems.
- Motor and actuator connection points.
- Electrical control equipment.
- Portable and modular machinery.
- Connector protection during maintenance and servicing.
- Equipment storage and transportation.
