Why Choose the ILME CDSHM18 SQUICH® Male Insert?

The ILME CDSHM18, manufacturer reference CDSHM 18, is a high-density male multipole connector insert with 18 poles plus protective earth (PE). Part of the ILME CDSH series, it features ILME's SQUICH® spring terminal connection, providing fast conductor termination without conventional screw terminals or separately crimped contacts.

Rated at 10 A and 400 V, the CDSHM18 is designed for demanding industrial control, signal and auxiliary wiring applications. Its spring-terminal technology provides a practical solution for machine builders and panel builders who need efficient installation while retaining a secure, serviceable multipole electrical interface.

Designed for size 57.27 industrial connector assemblies, the CDSHM18 combines 18 male contact positions plus PE within a compact format. Its high contact density and SQUICH® termination system make it particularly suitable for machinery and automation installations where numerous circuits must be connected through a single removable connector.
