Why Choose the Ilme CKX03IA Angled Plastic Bulkhead Housing?

The Ilme CKX03IA is a compact angled thermoplastic bulkhead mounting housing designed for industrial multipole connector installations. Part of the Ilme CKX series, it uses the compact size 21.21 format and provides a fixed angled connector interface for compatible Ilme inserts in machinery, control panels and automation equipment.

The CKX03IA combines an insulating thermoplastic housing with a durable stainless steel locking lever. Its angled configuration positions the mating connector away from the mounting surface, helping improve connector accessibility and cable routing where installation space around machinery or enclosure panels is restricted.

Designed without a cable entry, the CKX03IA mounts directly to a panel or equipment surface. It provides IP44 protection as standard, with IP66, IP67 and IP69 protection available when correctly assembled with the appropriate Ilme CKR 65 sealing components and compatible connector parts.

Reliable Angled Connector Protection for Compact Installations

Angled bulkhead housings provide a fixed connector interface while directing the mating connector away from the panel surface. This configuration can improve access and cable management in machinery and control systems where a conventional straight bulkhead connector would interfere with adjacent equipment or available installation space.

The Ilme CKX03IA combines an insulating thermoplastic body with a stainless steel locking lever for secure repeated coupling. When correctly assembled with compatible Ilme size 21.21 inserts and sealing components, it provides a compact and service-friendly industrial connector interface with enhanced environmental protection available where required.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machinery and machine building.
  • Electrical control panels and cabinets.
  • Automation and production equipment.
  • Packaging and processing machinery.
  • Material handling and conveyor systems.
  • OEM equipment requiring compact angled detachable electrical connections.
