Why Choose the Ilme CDM40 Male Insert?
The Ilme CDM40 is a high-density 40-pole plus earth male connector insert designed for dependable multipole electrical connections in industrial machinery, automation systems and control equipment. Part of the established Ilme CD series, it combines a compact size 77.27 format with crimp termination for reliable and serviceable industrial wiring.
Rated at 10 A and 250 V, the CDM40 provides 40 male contact positions plus protective earth within a single rectangular connector insert. The crimp-contact system allows conductors to be terminated to separately selected contacts before insertion into the connector body, supporting consistent assembly quality and simplifying production wiring.
With a rated impulse withstand voltage of 4 kV, pollution degree 3 and at least 500 mating cycles, the CDM40 is engineered for demanding industrial service. Its durable polycarbonate construction and wide -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range make it suitable for machine building, factory automation and modular equipment connections.

Reliable High-Density Connections for Industrial Equipment
Multipole connector inserts such as the Ilme CDM40 allow numerous electrical circuits to be connected and disconnected through a single heavy-duty rectangular connector assembly. This simplifies machine installation and servicing while providing an organised interface between control cabinets, machine sections and modular equipment.
The CDM40 uses separately selected male crimp contacts, allowing conductors to be securely terminated before the contacts are inserted into the connector body. When combined with the corresponding female insert and a compatible Ilme size 77.27 hood or housing, it forms part of a robust connector system suitable for demanding industrial environments.
