Why Choose the ILME CX4.0MPQV Female Metal Pneumatic Contact?
The ILME CX4.0MPQV, manufacturer part number CX 4.0 MPQV, is a female metal pneumatic contact with an integral shut-off valve for the ILME MIXO modular connector system. Its straight quick-fitting connection is designed for pneumatic tubing with a 4 mm outside diameter, providing a compact detachable compressed-air interface for industrial machinery and automation equipment.
The CX4.0MPQV uses an OD push-in quick-fitting connection, allowing suitable 4 mm pneumatic tubing to be inserted directly into the contact fitting. The integrated shut-off valve closes the female pneumatic contact when the connector is unmated, helping isolate the pneumatic circuit and reduce unwanted compressed-air loss during equipment disconnection, servicing or module replacement.
Designed for ILME MIXO metal pneumatic modules, the CX4.0MPQV is suitable for clean and dry compressed air at pressures up to 10 bar. ILME specifies a working temperature range of -40 °C to +80 °C for MIXO pneumatic contacts, providing dependable operation across a broad range of industrial environments.

Reliable Valved Pneumatic Connections for Industrial Machinery
The ILME CX4.0MPQV combines a straight quick-fitting pneumatic connection with an integrated shut-off valve. Suitable 4 mm OD tubing is pushed directly into the fitting, while the valve provides automatic isolation of the female pneumatic path when the connector is unmated. This makes the contact particularly useful on machinery where modules, tooling or equipment sections need to be disconnected while minimising loss of compressed air.
When installed in a compatible ILME MIXO metal pneumatic module, the CX4.0MPQV enables compressed-air circuits to share a configurable heavy-duty connector with electrical, signal and data services. ILME specifies these pneumatic contacts for clean and dry compressed air at pressures up to 10 bar and requires CRM CX and CRF CX coding and guiding pins when pneumatic contact modules are used.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery pneumatic interfaces.
- Factory automation and robotic systems.
- Pneumatic actuator and control circuits.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Detachable pneumatic circuits requiring automatic shut-off.
- MIXO connector assemblies combining pneumatic, electrical and data services.
