Why Choose the ILME CX3/4XDM Male 3+4-Pole Crimp Modular Insert?
The ILME CX3/4XDM is a versatile male hybrid modular insert designed to combine higher-current power connections and auxiliary circuits within a single ILME MIXO module. It provides 3 main poles rated at 40 A together with 4 auxiliary poles rated at 10 A, making it an efficient solution for machinery requiring power and control connections through the same heavy-duty connector assembly.
Both the main and auxiliary circuits use crimp connections with separately ordered male contacts. The three main positions accept compatible ILME CXMA 40 A male crimp contacts for conductor sizes from 1.5–6 mm², while the four auxiliary positions use compatible CDMA or CDMD 10 A male contacts for conductors from 0.14–2.5 mm². This combination provides seven electrical contact positions while occupying only one MIXO module.
Both circuits are rated at 830 V with a rated impulse withstand voltage of 8 kV and pollution degree 3. The CX3/4XDM also features finger-safe male contact positioning when assembled with the specified contacts, helping provide protection against accidental contact while delivering a compact and robust interface for demanding industrial machinery and automation systems.

Combined Power and Auxiliary Connectivity in One MIXO Module
The ILME CX3/4XDM is designed for applications where both higher-current power circuits and lower-current auxiliary connections need to pass through the same connector. Its three 40 A main poles and four 10 A auxiliary poles create a compact hybrid interface, reducing the need for separate modules while retaining dedicated contact systems optimised for the two circuit types.
As part of the MIXO modular system, the CX3/4XDM can be installed alongside compatible power, control, signal, data and pneumatic modules to create a connector tailored to the machine. Its single-module footprint and mixed-current configuration make it particularly useful for motor, actuator and machinery interfaces where power and auxiliary control circuits need to be disconnected together.
