Overview

Mencom CAV-16LG21 is a standard rectangular hood designed for heavy-duty industrial connectors, featuring a single latch with a gasket and top PG21 cable entry. This high-construction enclosure delivers reliable IP65 protection even after 500 mating cycles, ensuring durability in harsh environments. The patented stainless steel locking system provides consistent clamping force, making it ideal for industrial, manufacturing, and automation applications where reliability is critical. Constructed from aluminum die-cast with an epoxy-polyester powdercoat, the CAV-16LG21 resists corrosion and mechanical stress. The hood supports flexible installation options, including surface mount, bulkhead mount, or other configurations, and is compatible with PG, Metric, or NPT cable entries. The gasket ensures protection against dust and water ingress, while the single or double-closing devices (stainless steel levers, springs, and pegs) guarantee coupling stability and prevent accidental opening. Key specifications include a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, UL-certified self-extinguishing fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic inserts, and silver or gold-plated brass contacts. The contacts are numbered on both sides for accurate installation. The CAV-16LG21 is part of Mencom Corporation's globally recognized line of industrial connectors, trusted for heavy-duty applications in automation, process control, and machinery. Manufactured in Germany, this hood meets UNSPSC Code 26121600 and is distributed by Gross Automation.
