Why Choose the ILME CKH03IA Hygienic Angled Bulkhead Housing?
The ILME CKH03IA is a compact hygienic thermoplastic angled bulkhead mounting housing designed for industrial connector installations in food, beverage and other hygiene-sensitive processing environments. As part of the specialised ILME CKH Hygienic series, it combines a durable polyamide enclosure with hygienic materials and a compact size 21.21 format.
The CKH03IA features an angled bulkhead mounting configuration with one lever and is supplied without a cable entry. Its enclosure is manufactured from polyamide (PA), while the locking lever is made from metal-detectable polypropylene (PP) and the gasket from silicone rubber, providing material characteristics specifically suited to hygienic industrial applications.
The housing provides IP44 protection as standard and can achieve IP66, IP67 and IP69 protection when used with the appropriate CKRH 65 or CKRH 65 D kit. With an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +70 °C and a mechanical life of at least 500 mating cycles, the CKH03IA provides a reliable compact connector interface for demanding food and beverage machinery.

Hygienic Connectivity for Food and Beverage Machinery
Hygienic connector housings such as the ILME CKH03IA are designed for equipment where cleanliness, material selection and resistance to demanding environmental conditions are important. The thermoplastic enclosure, silicone rubber gasket and metal-detectable lever make the CKH series particularly suitable for electrical connections used around food and beverage production machinery.
The angled bulkhead design provides a compact fixed connection point on machine panels and enclosures while directing the mating connector away from the mounting surface. When combined with the appropriate ILME sealing components, the CKH03IA can provide protection up to IP69, making it suitable for industrial equipment requiring a high degree of protection against water and contamination.
Typical Applications
- Food and beverage processing machinery.
- Packaging and filling equipment.
- Bottling and beverage production lines.
- Dairy and food production equipment.
- Hygiene-sensitive factory automation systems.
- Industrial control and sensor connections in washdown environments.
