Why Choose the Ilme CQM21 Male Crimp Insert?

The Ilme CQM21 is a compact, high-density male multipole connector insert designed for reliable electrical connections in industrial machinery, automation systems and control equipment. Part of the Ilme CQ series, it provides 21 poles and uses crimp termination to create secure, serviceable conductor connections.

With a rated current of 6.5 A, the CQM21 is particularly suited to multi-circuit control and signal connections where a large number of contacts must be accommodated within a limited space. Its compact 21.21 size enables high connection density while maintaining the convenience of a detachable rectangular industrial connector system.

The CQM21 is designed for installation in compatible Ilme housings and for use with separately selected male crimp contacts. Its robust insulating construction and high-density 21-pole arrangement make it a practical solution for machine builders, panel manufacturers and automation engineers requiring compact and maintainable electrical interfaces.

Key Advantages

  • High-density 21-pole male connector insert for industrial applications.
  • 6.5 A rated current suitable for control and signal circuits.
  • Compact 21.21 size maximises connection density in restricted spaces.
  • Reliable crimp termination provides secure conductor connections.
  • Individual crimp contacts simplify assembly, maintenance and wiring modifications.
  • Designed for integration with compatible Ilme rectangular connector housings.

Key Features

  • Ilme CQ series multipole connector insert.
  • Male connection configuration.
  • 21 contact poles.
  • 6.5 A rated current.

High-Density Connectivity for Industrial Control Systems

Multipole crimp inserts such as the Ilme CQM21 allow numerous electrical circuits to be combined within a single compact industrial connector. Each conductor is terminated to an appropriate crimp contact before the contact is installed into the insert, creating an organised and serviceable connection system that is well suited to machinery and automation equipment.

The CQM21 combines 21 contact positions with the compact 21.21 connector format, making efficient use of installation space where numerous control or signal connections are required. When assembled with compatible contacts, housing and associated Ilme components, it provides a detachable interface that can simplify machine installation, maintenance and equipment replacement.
