Why Choose the ILME CSSM16 Male Insert?
The ILME CSSM16 is a 16-pole + protective earth male connector insert from the ILME CSS series, designed for reliable detachable electrical connections in industrial machinery, automation and control systems. Its dual spring terminal connection provides two conductor connection points per pole, offering a practical solution for applications requiring secure, flexible wiring.
Rated at 16 A and 500 V with a 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage, the CSSM16 is suitable for power, control and auxiliary circuits in demanding industrial environments. The spring terminals accept conductors from 0.14–2.5 mm², while turned silver-plated contacts provide dependable electrical conductivity and durable mating performance.
Designed for compatible size 77.27 heavy-duty connector enclosures, the CSSM16 combines high contact density with screwless spring termination. The insulating body is manufactured from self-extinguishing thermoplastic material, providing a robust insert solution for machine builders, panel builders and industrial automation installations.
