Overview

Mencom Corporation’s CKAX-03IAPS is a heavy-duty industrial rectangular connector designed for harsh environments where reliable signal and power transmission is critical. This stainless steel single-latch bulkhead mount connector features a PG11 cable entry, ensuring secure cable retention and IP65 protection even after 500 mating cycles. The die-cast aluminum housing with epoxy-polyester powdercoat provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and high humidity, making it ideal for washdown applications in automation, robotics, and process control systems. The CKAX-03IAPS supports 2 poles plus ground with a maximum voltage rating of 250V AC/DC. It includes a thermoplastic gasket for environmental sealing and zinc-plated steel screws for corrosion resistance. The angled bulkhead mount design allows for easy integration into control panels, while the single-latch mechanism ensures quick and secure mating and unmating. Compatible with cables ranging from 8 to 10mm in diameter, this connector is optimized for field wireable applications where flexibility and durability are paramount. Mencom’s patented stainless steel locking system delivers consistent clamping force, eliminating the risk of loose connections in vibration-prone environments. The connector’s temperature range spans from -40°C to 125°C (gray/black housing) or -25°C to 90°C (clear housing), accommodating extreme thermal conditions. With UL File #E149111 certification, the CKAX-03IAPS meets stringent safety and performance standards for industrial automation and machinery. Ideal for applications in food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and outdoor enclosures, the CKAX-03IAPS provides a robust, long-lasting solution for signal and power transmission in demanding industrial settings. Its modular design allows for easy field installation and maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
