Why Choose the ILME CQEYM46 Male Insert?
The ILME CQEYM46 is a high-density 46-pole plus protective earth male connector insert featuring ILME's AXYR® spring push-in terminal technology. Part of the ILME CQEY series, it provides fast, tool-free conductor termination while delivering a rated current of 16 A and rated voltage of 500 V in the standard size 104.27 format.
Unlike conventional crimp inserts that require separate contacts and crimping tools, the CQEYM46 incorporates turned silver-plated contacts and high-density spring terminals directly into the insert. The AXYR® push-in system is designed to simplify wiring and maintenance, making it particularly useful for densely populated machinery and automation connections where installation efficiency is important.
The CQEYM46 is rated at 16 A, 500 V, 6 kV with pollution degree 3 according to EN 61984. It also provides at least 500 mating cycles, insulation resistance of at least 10 GΩ and an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C, supporting reliable service in demanding industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- 46 poles plus protective earth provide a high-density industrial connection in one insert.
- AXYR® spring push-in technology enables fast conductor termination without specialist connection tools.
- 16 A, 500 V rating supports a broad range of industrial power, control and auxiliary circuits.
