Why Choose the ILME CDAM16N 16-Pole Male Insert?
The ILME CDAM16N is a heavy-duty 16-pole + PE male connector insert designed for reliable power, control and signal connections in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the ILME CDA series, this insert features screw terminal connections and silver-plated male contacts for dependable electrical performance in demanding industrial connector applications.
The CDAM16N is the 17–32 numbered version of the 16-pole CDA male insert and is designed for size 66.40 connector assemblies. This allows two compatible 16-pole inserts to be used within an appropriate 66.40 enclosure to create a 32-pole + PE connector arrangement. Screw terminals provide straightforward conductor termination without requiring specialist crimp contacts or crimping tools.
Rated at 16 A and 250 V with a 4 kV rated impulse withstand voltage, the CDAM16N accommodates conductors from 0.75–4 mm², equivalent to AWG 18–12. Its durable construction, silver-plated turned contacts and minimum 500 mating-cycle durability make it suitable for industrial control panels, machine connections and other applications requiring robust multipole connectivity.

Reliable Multipole Connections for Industrial Machinery
Heavy-duty connector inserts such as the ILME CDAM16N provide a convenient method of combining numerous electrical circuits within a single robust connector assembly. This simplifies machinery installation and maintenance by allowing multiple power, control and auxiliary connections to be disconnected and reconnected through one multipole interface.
The CDAM16N uses conventional screw terminals for straightforward field wiring and accommodates conductors up to 4 mm². Its 17–32 pole numbering makes it particularly suitable as the second 16-pole section within compatible size 66.40 connector configurations, while the dedicated PE connection supports protective earthing of the installation.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and machine building.
- Factory automation and production equipment.
- Electrical control panels and cabinets.
- Motor, actuator and equipment connections.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Multipole power and control cable assemblies.
