Why Choose the ILME CSHF16 SQUICH Female Insert?
The ILME CSHF16, also designated CSHF 16, is a 16-pole plus protective earth female connector insert from the ILME CSH series. Designed for heavy-duty industrial connector systems, it features ILME's SQUICH® spring-terminal connection technology, allowing fast conductor termination without conventional terminal screws or specialist termination tools.
The CSHF16 is rated at 16 A and 500 V according to EN 61984 characteristics, with a 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and pollution degree 3. Its SQUICH® terminals accommodate conductors from 0.14–2.5 mm² (26–14 AWG), providing a versatile solution for industrial power, control and automation wiring.
Designed for ILME size 77.27 connector housings, the CSHF16 incorporates turned silver-plated female contacts within a robust polycarbonate insulating body. The insert is designed for at least 500 mating cycles and an operating temperature range of -40 to +125 °C, making it suitable for demanding machinery and industrial environments.
