When a machine harness exits sideways along a frame or cabinet wall, a side-entry hood keeps the cable from sticking out or kinking. The Techspan ESTL16D5 is a 16-pole plus ground heavy-duty connector hood with double locking levers and a side cable entry with a PG21 thread, for 16 A, 600 V E-series rectangular connectors.
Why panel builders pick it
- Double levers clamp the hood to the base on both ends for a tight, vibration-resistant connection.
- Side cable entry keeps harnesses tight to walls and machine frames.
- High-construction hood leaves more room for conductors and bending.
- Size for 16-pole plus ground E-series inserts rated 16 A max, 600 V.
- Made in Italy (equivalent to ILME CAO 16 X).

Pro tip from the counter
The entry is a PG21 thread, not NPT, so a standard North American 3/4 in NPT cord grip won't thread in. Order a PG21 cord grip sized to your cable OD with the hood, or Techspan's NPT-entry version of the hood if the shop only stocks NPT fittings.
Best for: machine builders and OEMs, control panel shops, robotic and automation cells, replacing damaged hoods on existing connectors, modular equipment wiring
