Product Details
- Cable‑to‑panel / cable‑to‑cable multipole connections where side cable routing is needed
- Industrial automation, machine control, robotics, control cabinets
- Environments with dust, moisture, vibration exposure
- Situations requiring modular plug / socket connector systems with lateral cable exit
- This is the hood housing only — it does not include the electrical insert (contacts) or the matching base / counterpart housing.
- To build a full connector, you need:
1. A compatible insert (female or male) of the 16‑pole design
2. A matching bulkhead / base housing of the 77.27 shell size
3. A suitable PG21 cable gland (for your cable outside diameter) to maintain sealing
4. Correct gasket seating, alignment, and torque to achieve the rated IP protection - Check that peg placement and lever orientation match your mating housing / base.
ILME CAO16L21 — Side‑Entry Hood, PG21, 16‑Pole, High Construction
ILME CAO16L21 Hood (Side Entry, PG21)
Product Overview
The ILME CAO16L21 is a rugged, high‑construction hood (cable‑side housing) in the ILME C‑Type connector family. It is designed for side cable entry via a PG21 threaded opening and fits the 77 × 27 mm (“77.27”) modular shell size. With 2 alignment pegs and side entry orientation, it is ideal for applications where the cable exit must be lateral rather than top.
When mated with matching ILME inserts and a bulkhead / base housing, this hood forms part of a sealed connector system suitable for harsh industrial environments.
