Why Choose the ILME CQEYM 18 Male Insert?
The ILME CQEYM 18 is a high-density male industrial connector insert from the ILME CQEY series, providing 18 poles plus protective earth (18P+PE) within the compact size 57.27 format. Featuring ILME AXYR® high-density spring push-in technology, it provides fast, tool-free conductor termination for machinery, automation equipment and industrial control systems.
Rated at 16 A, 500 V with a 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and pollution degree 3, the CQEYM 18 delivers dependable electrical performance while eliminating the need for separate crimp contacts or conventional screw-terminal wiring. Its integrated turned silver-plated contacts provide reliable conductivity for demanding industrial applications.
The AXYR® push-in connection uses a spring clamp with actuator button, allowing conductors to be terminated quickly and securely without specialist tooling. Combined with its high-density 18-pole configuration, the CQEYM 18 provides an efficient solution for consolidating power, control and auxiliary circuits into a single detachable size 57.27 connector assembly.

Fast, Tool-Free AXYR® Spring-Terminal Connectivity
ILME AXYR® technology combines high connection density with fast push-in conductor termination. The CQEYM 18 uses spring clamps with actuator buttons, allowing conductors to be connected without separate crimp contacts or conventional terminal screws. This can significantly simplify connector assembly in production environments and make subsequent wiring changes easier during installation and servicing.
The spring-clamp system maintains continuous pressure on the conductor, providing a stable electrical connection suitable for industrial machinery and automation equipment. With 18 poles plus PE accommodated within the compact size 57.27 format, the CQEYM 18 is particularly useful where connection density, rapid assembly and dependable long-term connectivity are important.
