Why Choose the ILME CCMD3.0 Male Crimp Contact?
The ILME CCMD3.0, also designated CCMD 3.0, is a precision-manufactured male crimp contact designed for compatible ILME heavy-duty multipole connector inserts. Part of the ILME CC contact range, it provides a secure electrical termination for industrial machinery, automation, control and power connection applications.
Rated at 16 A, the CCMD3.0 is designed specifically for conductors with a cross-sectional area of 3 mm², corresponding to AWG 12. Its crimp termination method creates a secure connection between the conductor and contact when installed using suitable ILME crimping equipment and the correct conductor preparation.
The CCMD3.0 is a turned gold-plated contact manufactured from copper alloy. Gold plating provides a durable contact interface with excellent resistance to oxidation, making this contact particularly suitable for reliable industrial connector assemblies where consistent electrical contact performance is required.

Crimp contacts such as the ILME CCMD3.0 provide a secure electrical termination by mechanically compressing the contact around a correctly prepared conductor. When the specified crimping tooling is used, this termination method creates a robust connection suitable for machinery, automation equipment and other industrial environments where vibration and repeated connector operation can occur.
The gold-plated contact surface distinguishes the CCMD range from equivalent silver-plated CC contacts. Gold offers excellent resistance to oxidation and helps maintain consistent contact characteristics over repeated mating operations, while the turned copper-alloy construction provides the mechanical precision required for compatible ILME multipole connector systems.
Typical Applications
- ILME heavy-duty multipole connector assemblies.
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Automation and PLC control systems.
- Motor and machine electrical connections.
- Electrical control panels and cabinets.
- Robotics and automated manufacturing equipment.
