Why Choose the ILME CXF6/12 Female Mixed-Pole Insert?
The ILME CXF6/12 is a versatile female mixed-pole connector insert designed for heavy-duty industrial connections requiring both higher-current power circuits and lower-current auxiliary circuits within a single connector. Part of the ILME CX series, it combines six 40 A power poles, twelve 10 A auxiliary poles and a protective earth connection in a compact size 77.27 insert.
The CXF6/12 uses crimp termination for both contact groups, providing secure and reliable conductor connections for machinery, automation and control applications. Separate 40 A and 10 A crimp contacts allow appropriate conductor sizes to be selected for the power and auxiliary circuits, while contacts are ordered separately from the insert.
The six main poles are rated at 40 A and 690 V, while the twelve auxiliary poles are rated at 10 A and 230/400 V. This mixed configuration makes the CXF6/12 particularly useful for machinery interfaces where motor power, control and auxiliary circuits need to be carried through one robust industrial connector.

Combined Power and Control Connectivity
Mixed-pole inserts such as the ILME CXF6/12 allow circuits with different electrical requirements to be combined within one heavy-duty connector. The six higher-current contacts can carry power to motors and other equipment while the twelve lower-current contacts accommodate control, signalling and auxiliary circuits.
This integrated arrangement can reduce the number of separate connectors required on industrial machinery, simplifying installation and maintenance. The CXF6/12's crimp termination system also supports robust conductor connections suitable for equipment exposed to vibration, repeated servicing and demanding industrial operating conditions.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and machine building.
- Motor power and control connections.
- Automated production equipment.
- Robotics and assembly machinery.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Control cabinets and machine interfaces.
- Combined power, control and auxiliary circuit connections.
