Why Choose the ILME CX20CM Male MIXO Modular Insert?
The ILME CX20CM, manufacturer part number CX 20 CM, is a high-density 20-pole male modular insert designed for reliable electrical connections within heavy-duty industrial connector assemblies. Part of the versatile ILME MIXO series, it provides twenty contact positions within a compact 2-module format and is rated at 16 A and 500 V.
The CX20CM uses crimp termination with separately ordered ILME 16 A male contacts. Compatible contacts are available for conductor sizes from 0.14–4 mm², allowing the contact to be selected for the cable being terminated. Correct crimping provides a secure, low-resistance connection well suited to machinery, automation and production equipment.
According to EN 61984, the CX20CM is rated 16 A, 500 V, 6 kV at pollution degree 3, with an alternative characteristic of 16 A, 830 V, 8 kV at pollution degree 2. Its durable polycarbonate construction, -40 °C to +125 °C operating range and Standard & HNM specification make it a versatile solution for demanding modular connector installations.

Reliable High-Density Crimp Connections for Industrial Machinery
The ILME CX20CM uses separately selected male crimp contacts to provide secure electrical terminations without terminal screws. ILME offers compatible 16 A male contacts for conductor sizes from 0.14–4 mm², including silver-plated and suitable gold-plated contact options. Using the appropriate ILME-approved crimping tooling helps produce repeatable connections with low contact resistance.
With 20 contact positions across only two MIXO modules, the CX20CM is particularly useful where numerous circuits must pass through a compact detachable interface. Installed in a compatible MIXO frame and suitable enclosure, it can operate alongside power, control, signal, data and pneumatic modules to create a customised connection point for industrial machinery.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and machine building.
- Factory automation and production equipment.
- Multi-circuit power and control connections.
- Control panels and electrical cabinets.
- Packaging, processing and assembly machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- High-density modular heavy-duty connector assemblies.
