Why Choose the Ilme CSHF16N SQUICH® Female Insert?

The Ilme CSHF16N is a high-performance 16-pole + PE female industrial connector insert featuring Ilme's innovative SQUICH® spring terminal connection. Designed for fast, tool-free conductor termination, this CSH-series insert provides a reliable solution for power, control and auxiliary connections in industrial machinery, automation systems and electrical equipment.

The CSHF16N uses SQUICH® spring terminal technology with push-in actuators, allowing prepared conductors to be terminated without conventional screw tightening. The spring connection maintains consistent contact pressure while the actuator system simplifies wiring, helping machine builders and panel builders reduce installation and maintenance time while maintaining dependable electrical connections.

Rated at 16 A and 500 V, with a 6 kV impulse withstand voltage, the CSHF16N accepts conductors from 0.14–2.50 mm² or AWG 26–14. This N-version uses pole numbering 17–32 and the extended 77.62 size, making it suitable as the second 16-pole insert within compatible 32-pole + PE connector configurations.

Key Advantages

  • SQUICH® tool-free spring terminal connection simplifies industrial wiring.
  • 16 poles + PE with pole numbering 17–32 for extended connector configurations.
  • 16 A, 500 V rating for industrial power and control circuits.
  • Accepts conductors from 0.14–2.50 mm² or AWG 26–14.
  • Silver-plated contacts provide dependable electrical conductivity.
  • Rated for at least 500 mating cycles for repeated industrial connection and disconnection.

Key Features

  • Ilme CSH series female connector insert.
  • 16 poles + protective earth with numbering 17–32.
  • SQUICH® spring terminal connection without tools.
  • Integrated push-in actuator system for conductor termination.
  • 16 A rated current.
  • 500 V rated voltage.
  • 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage.
  • Size 77.62 extended connector format.
  • Turned silver-plated contacts.
  • Polycarbonate insulating body with UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.

Fast, Tool-Free SQUICH® Connectivity for Industrial Machinery

Ilme SQUICH® technology is designed to simplify connector wiring by combining spring-clamp electrical contacts with convenient actuators. Once the conductor has been stripped to the correct length, the termination can be completed without conventional screw-terminal tightening, reducing assembly effort while providing consistent spring pressure on the conductor.

The CSHF16N combines this connection system with turned silver-plated contacts offering contact resistance of no more than 3 mΩ. Its polycarbonate insulating body operates across a temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C, while the insert is rated for at least 500 mating cycles, making it well suited to demanding industrial machinery and automation applications.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machinery and machine building.
  • Factory automation and production equipment.
  • Electrical control systems and cabinets.
  • Robotics and automated manufacturing systems.
  • Material handling and conveyor equipment.
  • High-density multipole power and control connections.
