Why Choose the ILME CQEEF 40 Female Insert?

The ILME CQEEF 40 is a high-density female industrial connector insert from the ILME CQEE series, designed to provide 40 poles plus protective earth (40P+PE) within the compact size 77.27 format. Its crimp-contact system makes it an excellent choice for machinery, automation and control applications requiring a large number of circuits through a single detachable heavy-duty connector.

Rated at 16 A, 500 V with a 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and pollution degree 3, the CQEEF 40 provides dependable electrical performance for demanding industrial installations. The insert uses separately selected female crimp contacts, allowing contacts to be matched to the conductor size and wiring requirements of the application.

The high-density CQEE design accommodates significantly more contacts than conventional inserts of the same size 77.27 format. Its durable polycarbonate construction, wide operating temperature range and minimum 500 mating-cycle mechanical endurance make the CQEEF 40 particularly suitable for production machinery and equipment requiring reliable, serviceable multipole connections.

Key Advantages

  • High-density 40 poles plus protective earth (40P+PE) configuration.
  • Compact size 77.27 format for space-efficient industrial connectivity.
  • 16 A, 500 V electrical rating for power, control and auxiliary circuits.
  • Reliable crimp termination for repeatable industrial wiring.
  • Female crimp contacts are selected separately to suit the required conductor size.
  • Designed for at least 500 mating cycles for dependable long-term service.

Key Features

  • ILME CQEE series female connector insert.
  • 40 poles + PE.
  • 16 A rated current.
  • 500 V rated voltage.
  • 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage.
  • Pollution degree 3.
  • Crimp connection for separately ordered contacts.
  • Supplied without crimp contacts.
  • Compact size 77.27 connector format.
  • Insert mounting dimensions of approximately 77.5 × 27 mm.
  • Mechanical durability of at least 500 mating cycles.
  • Operating temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C.

High-Density Crimp Connectivity for Industrial Systems

The ILME CQEEF 40 is designed for installations where a large number of electrical circuits must be accommodated within limited connector space. Its 40-pole plus PE arrangement provides exceptional connection density within a size 77.27 footprint, making it particularly valuable for sophisticated machinery, automated production systems and control equipment with extensive field wiring.

Crimp termination provides consistent electrical and mechanical performance when the correct ILME contacts and approved tooling are used. Because the CQEEF 40 is supplied without contacts, installers can select the appropriate female crimp contacts for their conductor requirements while retaining the flexibility and serviceability of a detachable heavy-duty connector system.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machinery and machine building.
  • Factory automation and production equipment.
  • Robotics and automated manufacturing systems.
  • Control panels and electrical cabinets.
  • Packaging and processing machinery.
  • Conveyors and material handling systems.
  • High-density signal, control and power connections.
  • Industrial equipment requiring compact multipole connectivity.
