Why Choose the ILME CDAM16XN Male Insert?
The ILME CDAM16XN, manufacturer designation CDAM 16 XN, is a 16-pole + earth male connector insert from the ILME CDA series. Designed for heavy-duty industrial multipole connections, it combines a 16 A current rating with 250 V IEC-rated operation and screw-terminal connectivity for dependable power and control wiring.
The CDAM16XN provides 16 male poles plus protective earth (PE) with pole numbering 17–32. It is designed for the larger size 66.40 connector format, where two 16-pole insert sections form a 32-pole assembly. The XN version is supplied without a terminal plate and is intended for prepared conductors, supporting wire cross-sections from 0.25–2.5 mm² or 24–14 AWG.
Precision turned silver-plated copper-alloy contacts, a self-extinguishing polycarbonate body and a mechanical life of at least 500 mating cycles make the CDAM16XN suitable for demanding industrial installations. When installed in an appropriate ILME enclosure, it provides a robust and serviceable connection for machinery, automation and control equipment.

Reliable Screw-Terminal Multipole Connectivity
Heavy-duty multipole connectors allow numerous electrical circuits to be combined into a single detachable interface, simplifying machinery installation, maintenance and replacement. The CDAM16XN provides positions 17–32 plus protective earth and is intended for use as one section of a compatible size 66.40 multipole connector arrangement.
The screw-terminal design allows prepared conductors to be connected directly to the insert without separate crimp contacts. With silver-plated turned contacts, a broad 0.25–2.5 mm² conductor range and industrial-grade insulation, the CDAM16XN provides a serviceable solution for demanding power, control and automation connections.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and machine tools.
- Factory automation and production equipment.
- Control-panel and machine interconnections.
- Robotics and material handling equipment.
- OEM machinery and modular electrical systems.
- Industrial power and control wiring requiring detachable multipole connections.
