Why Choose the ILME CCEM16N Male 16-Pole + Earth Crimp Insert?
The ILME CCEM16N is a male 16-pole plus protective earth crimp insert designed as the second insert in a doubled CCE connector arrangement. Rated at 16 A and 500 V to IEC ratings, it provides a robust multipole connection solution for industrial machinery, automation, control panels and other equipment requiring dependable removable electrical connections.
The CCEM16N uses crimp termination and is supplied without contacts, allowing compatible ILME crimp contacts to be selected according to the conductor requirements of the installation. The insert carries the 17–32 contact numbering, distinguishing it from the standard CCEM16 and enabling the two inserts to form a 32-pole plus protective earth connector arrangement.
Manufactured from UL94 V-0 polycarbonate, the CCEM16N is designed for demanding industrial connector applications and operates across a broad -40°C to +125°C temperature range. Its mechanical durability of at least 500 mating cycles makes it well suited to equipment requiring reliable connection, disconnection and maintenance throughout its service life.

Designed for Doubled CCE Connector Assemblies
The N suffix identifies the CCEM16N as the complementary 16-pole insert used in a doubled connector arrangement. Its electrical positions are numbered 17–32, while the corresponding first insert provides positions 1–16. Together, the two inserts provide a high-density 32-pole plus protective earth connection while retaining the proven 16 A CCE crimp-contact system.
Crimp termination allows conductors to be prepared independently before their contacts are inserted into the housing. When correctly assembled using compatible ILME contacts and appropriate crimp tooling, this system provides secure mechanical retention, dependable electrical performance and convenient servicing for industrial connector installations.
Typical Applications
- High-density industrial multipole connector assemblies.
- Industrial machinery and machine building.
- Factory automation and production equipment.
- Electrical control panels and cabinets.
- OEM machinery and modular equipment.
- Industrial power, control and auxiliary wiring.
