Why Choose the ILME CDAM16X 16-Pole Male Insert?
The ILME CDAM16X is a heavy-duty 16-pole + PE male connector insert designed for reliable electrical connections in industrial machinery, automation and control systems. Part of the ILME CDA series, this insert combines screw terminal termination with silver-plated turned male contacts to provide dependable performance in demanding multipole connector applications.
The CDAM16X is the direct screw-terminal version without a terminal protection plate and is intended for prepared conductors fitted with suitable wire-end ferrules. Its screw connections accommodate conductor cross-sections from 0.25–2.5 mm², equivalent to AWG 24–14, providing flexibility for power, control and auxiliary circuits within industrial equipment.
With 16 poles plus protective earth, a rated current of 16 A and rated voltage of 250 V, the CDAM16X provides a compact multipole interface for size 66.16 connector assemblies. A rated impulse withstand voltage of 4 kV, robust polycarbonate construction and a mechanical durability of at least 500 mating cycles make it suitable for long-term industrial service.

Reliable Multipole Connections for Industrial Machinery
Heavy-duty connector inserts such as the ILME CDAM16X allow numerous electrical circuits to be combined within a single detachable connector assembly. This can simplify installation and maintenance by enabling power, control and auxiliary wiring to be connected and disconnected through one robust multipole interface rather than through numerous individual connections.
The CDAM16X uses direct screw terminals and is designed for prepared conductors with suitable wire-end ferrules. Its 0.25–2.5 mm² conductor range and 16-pole + PE configuration make it particularly suitable for densely wired industrial control and automation applications where dependable connections and straightforward servicing are important.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and machine building.
- Factory automation and production equipment.
- Electrical control panels and cabinets.
- Motor, actuator and equipment connections.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Multipole power and control cable assemblies.
