ILME CAV10.21 10 Pin Hood Top Entry PG21

The ILME CAV10.21 is a rugged top‑entry hood / enclosure housing for modular rectangular connectors in the ILME C‑Type family. It is designed for 10‑pole (10 contacts) connections, with a PG21 threaded top cable entry and robust sealing capabilities.

This hood is intended to mate with compatible ILME inserts and bases (insert mounting dimension 57 × 27 mm, also called size “57.27”) to form a sealed, heavy‑duty multipole connector assembly.

Key Features & Benefits

• Cable Entry: Top entry via PG21 threaded opening (for compatible PG21 cable glands).
• Insertion / Interface Size: 57 × 27 mm (57.27 series), compatible with ILME C‑Type 10‑pole inserts.
• Locking / Closure: Uses double latch / lever mechanism for secure closure.
• Ingress Protection: Rated IP65 / IP66 / IP69 when properly assembled with base and gaskets.
• Material & Finish: Epoxy‑coated die cast aluminum housing.
• Temperature Range: −40 °C to +125 °C.
• Number of Pegs / Mounting: 4 pegs for alignment and mechanical support.
• High Construction / Elevated Hood: The “high construction” version gives additional height, allowing space for connector bodies and cable routing.

Applications

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Machine tools, robotics, motion control
• Harsh environments requiring protection from dust, water jets, oil sprays
• Cable to panel or cabinet connections in industrial settings

Typical Specification Summary

Ordering & Compatibility Notes

• The hood is typically sold without the insert (contacts) or matching base. You need to select the right 10‑pin insert and base of the same size (57.27) to assemble a complete connector.
• Use compatible PG21 cable glands (with appropriate cable diameter and sealing) to maintain IP protection.
• The sealing gaskets and proper assembly (alignment, torque) are critical to achieve the rated ingress protection.
• The hood is part of the ILME modular heavy-duty connector family and is compatible with other C‑Type hoods, bases, and accessories.
