Why Choose the ILME CMEM16 Male Screw Insert?
The ILME CMEM16 is a robust male multipole connector insert designed for industrial power and control connections requiring reliable screw-terminal termination. Part of the ILME CME series, it provides 16 main poles plus protective earth and 2 auxiliary poles, allowing multiple power and auxiliary circuits to be combined within a single heavy-duty connector assembly.
The CMEM16 uses a screw terminal connection, providing straightforward and serviceable conductor termination without the need for separate crimp contacts. Its male contact configuration is designed to mate with the corresponding female insert and to fit compatible ILME heavy-duty connector housings and hoods.
With a rated current of 16 A and a rated voltage of 400/690 V for the main circuits, the CMEM16 provides dependable electrical performance for machinery, automation and industrial installations. The two auxiliary poles are rated at 16 A, 500 V, providing additional connections for control or signalling functions.
