Why Choose the Ilme CX08BF Female Shielded BUS Insert?

The Ilme CX08BF is a female 8-pole shielded BUS modular insert designed for reliable data and signal transmission within industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Ilme MIXO BUS series, it combines eight contact positions with an integrated shield connection, helping maintain signal integrity in electrically demanding industrial environments.

Rated at 5 A and 50 V, the CX08BF uses separately ordered CI series female crimp contacts and supports conductor cross-sections from 0.08 mm² to 0.52 mm². The shielded multi-axial construction makes the module particularly suitable for industrial BUS and communication circuits where protection against electromagnetic interference is important.

The CX08BF can be installed in the compatible CX02B MIXO two-seat holder or the CX1/2BD size 21.21 single-seat adapter insert. Its robust polycarbonate construction, wide operating temperature range and minimum 500 mating-cycle mechanical life make it well suited to demanding industrial data interfaces.

Reliable Shielded Connectivity for Industrial BUS Networks

Industrial communication circuits can be exposed to electromagnetic interference generated by motors, variable-speed drives, switching equipment and other electrical loads. The Ilme CX08BF combines eight signal contacts with a dedicated shield connection, providing a compact interface designed to help maintain reliable BUS and data transmission in these environments.

The crimp contact system allows the appropriate contact size to be selected for the conductor, with compatible CI female contacts covering 0.08–0.52 mm². Used with the appropriate MIXO holder or adapter and Ilme enclosure, the CX08BF provides a rugged and serviceable shielded connection for industrial communication equipment.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial BUS communication systems.
  • Factory automation networks.
  • PLC and distributed control systems.
  • Industrial machinery data interfaces.
  • Robotics and automated handling equipment.
  • Production and packaging machinery.
  • Signal connections in electrically noisy environments.
  • OEM machinery requiring shielded multi-pole data connections.
