Why Choose the Ilme CDAM16 Male Insert?
The Ilme CDAM16 is a robust 16-pole plus protective earth male connector insert designed for reliable multipole electrical connections in industrial machinery, automation equipment and control systems. Part of the established Ilme CDA series, this male insert combines a high contact density with dependable screw-terminal technology for straightforward installation and maintenance.
Rated at 16 A, the CDAM16 is designed for industrial power, control and auxiliary circuits where multiple conductors need to be connected through a single heavy-duty connector assembly. Its 16 poles plus protective earth (PE) provide a practical interface for machinery and equipment that require numerous electrical connections while maintaining a dedicated protective conductor.
The CDAM16 uses the Ilme size 66.16 insert format and features male contacts with screw termination. This arrangement allows conductors to be connected directly to the insert without separate crimp contacts, making it particularly suitable for panel builders, machine manufacturers and maintenance engineers who require secure and serviceable field wiring.

Reliable Multipole Connections for Industrial Equipment
Heavy-duty rectangular connectors allow machinery and electrical equipment to be installed, disconnected and serviced without individually removing every conductor from a control panel. The Ilme CDAM16 provides 16 male electrical poles together with protective earth in a compact insert, making it well suited to applications where numerous power, signal or control conductors must pass through one detachable connector interface.
Screw-terminal technology provides a familiar and serviceable method of conductor termination. Conductors are secured directly within the insert, allowing technicians to assemble and maintain connector systems using conventional wiring practices while benefiting from the mechanical protection provided by a compatible Ilme hood or housing.
