Why Choose the Ilme CDSHF18 SQUICH® Female Insert?

The Ilme CDSHF18 is a high-quality 18-pole plus PE female connector insert from the Ilme CDSH series, designed with SQUICH® spring terminal connection technology for fast, tool-free conductor termination in industrial multipole connector assemblies.

Rated at 10 A and 400 V, the CDSHF18 is engineered for reliable control, signal and power connections in machinery, automation and electrical equipment. Its SQUICH® spring terminals simplify wiring by allowing conductors to be connected without conventional screw tightening, helping reduce installation time while maintaining secure electrical contact.

The insert is built in size 57.27 and accepts conductors from 0.14–2.5 mm² or 26–14 AWG. Precision-turned silver-plated contacts, a 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and a wide -40 to +125 °C operating temperature range make it suitable for demanding industrial connector applications.
