Why Choose the ILME CNEF16TXN Female Connector Insert?

The ILME CNEF16TXN is a robust female heavy-duty multipole connector insert designed for dependable electrical connections in industrial machinery, automation equipment and control systems. Part of the ILME CNE series, this version provides 16 poles plus protective earth with contact numbering 17–32 and is designed for use alongside a complementary insert within the larger 77.62 connector format.

The CNEF16TXN uses proven screw terminal connections for secure conductor termination and accepts prepared conductors from 0.25–2.5 mm². Its female copper-alloy contacts and durable polycarbonate insulating body provide a reliable connection system for demanding industrial applications, while the insert is supplied without a mounting plate.

With a rated current of 16 A, rated voltage of 500 V and rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV, the CNEF16TXN is suited to industrial power and control circuits. Its 77.62 size and 17–32 contact numbering make it particularly suitable for higher-density connector assemblies requiring clearly organised circuit identification.
