Why Choose the Ilme CSEF16 Female 16 Pole + Earth Insert?

The Ilme CSEF16, manufacturer reference CSEF 16, is a robust female multipole connector insert with 16 poles plus protective earth, designed for dependable power and control connections in industrial machinery and automation equipment. Part of the Ilme CSE series, it combines a 16 A current rating with convenient spring terminal connections for secure conductor termination.

Rated at 16 A and 500 V, the CSEF16 provides reliable electrical performance for demanding industrial connector applications. Its spring terminal system accepts conductors from 0.14–2.5 mm² (26–14 AWG), providing a practical alternative to conventional screw termination while maintaining a stable electrical connection.

The insert has the standard Ilme size 77.27 format and uses turned, silver-plated female contacts. With a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV, pollution degree 3 and a mechanical durability of at least 500 mating cycles, the CSEF16 is engineered for long-term use in industrial multipole connector assemblies.
