Why Choose the Ilme CQEM46N Male Crimp Insert?

The Ilme CQEM46N is a high-density male multipole connector insert designed for reliable electrical connections in industrial machinery, automation systems and control equipment. Part of the Ilme CQE series, this insert provides 46 poles plus protective earth and uses crimp termination for secure, vibration-resistant conductor connections.

Designed for demanding industrial connector applications, the CQEM46N has a rated current of 16 A and is intended for use with compatible Ilme rectangular connector housings. Its polycarbonate insulating body provides robust electrical insulation, while the crimp connection system enables reliable wiring when used with the appropriate Ilme contacts and crimping tools.

The CQEM46N is the numbered 47–92 insert used in high-density configurations and has an Ilme 104.62 size format. Its combination of high contact density, crimp termination and durable construction makes it particularly suitable for complex industrial installations where numerous power, control or signalling circuits must be accommodated within a rectangular connector system.
