Why Choose the ILME CX4.0MPQM Male Metal Pneumatic Contact?
The ILME CX4.0MPQM, manufacturer part number CX 4.0 MPQM, is a male metal pneumatic contact designed for use within ILME MIXO modular connector systems. Its straight quick-fitting connection accepts pneumatic tubing with a 4 mm outside diameter, providing a compact and detachable compressed-air interface for industrial machinery and automation equipment.
The CX4.0MPQM uses an OD push-in quick-fitting connection, allowing suitable 4 mm pneumatic tubing to be inserted directly into the fitting. This version is manufactured without a shut-off valve, making it suitable for pneumatic circuits where automatic isolation at the contact is not required or where air isolation is provided elsewhere in the system.
Designed for the ILME MIXO Pneumatic system, the CX4.0MPQM is intended for clean and dry compressed-air applications at pressures up to 10 bar. Its nickel-plated brass construction and specified working temperature range of -40 °C to +80 °C provide a robust connection solution for demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Quick-Fitting Pneumatic Connections for Industrial Machinery
The ILME CX4.0MPQM uses a quick-fitting system designed around the outside diameter of the pneumatic tube. Suitable 4 mm OD tubing is pushed directly into the straight fitting, providing a convenient alternative to hose-barb contacts that are specified according to tube internal diameter. The quick-fitting arrangement also allows assembled tubing to be replaced when required.
When installed in a compatible ILME MIXO metal pneumatic module, the CX4.0MPQM allows compressed-air circuits to form part of the same modular industrial connector as electrical and communication services. ILME specifies these pneumatic contacts for pressures up to 10 bar with clean and dry compressed air and requires appropriate CRM CX and CRF CX coding and guiding pins when assembling pneumatic contact modules.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery pneumatic interfaces.
- Factory automation and robotic equipment.
- Pneumatic actuator and control systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- MIXO connector assemblies combining pneumatic, electrical and data services.
