Why Choose the Ilme CCMC0.5 Male Constantan Crimp Contact?
The Ilme CCMC0.5 is a specialist male turned constantan crimp contact from the Ilme CC series, designed for compatible Ilme industrial multipole connector inserts. Rated at 16 A, it is specifically designed for 0.5 mm² conductors and provides a dedicated contact solution for industrial thermocouple connections.
The CCMC0.5 is manufactured from constantan (Cu-Ni) rather than the plated copper-alloy construction used for standard power and control contacts. Ilme specifies its complementary constantan and iron CC contacts for Type J thermocouples in accordance with EN 60584-1, enabling appropriate thermocouple circuits to pass through detachable industrial multipole connector assemblies.
Designed for 0.5 mm² / 20 AWG conductors, the CCMC0.5 uses precision crimp termination and has a specified conductor stripping length of 7.5 mm. Ilme recommends using approved crimping tools for these contacts to achieve consistent conductor termination and reliable integration into compatible connector inserts.

Reliable Constantan Contact for Type J Thermocouple Connections
Thermocouple measurement circuits require appropriate conductor and contact materials through their connection points. Ilme therefore provides dedicated constantan and iron CC series contacts for Type J thermocouple applications, allowing suitable temperature measurement circuits to be incorporated into detachable multipole industrial connector systems.
The CCMC0.5 provides the male constantan contact for 0.5 mm² conductors. When combined with the corresponding iron contact, compatible Ilme connector components and correctly prepared thermocouple wiring, it provides a practical and serviceable connection solution for industrial temperature measurement and process instrumentation.
Typical Applications
- Type J thermocouple connection circuits.
- Industrial temperature measurement systems.
- Process control and instrumentation equipment.
- Industrial machinery temperature monitoring.
- Compatible Ilme multipole connector assemblies.
- Pre-assembled thermocouple cable harnesses.
