Why Choose the ILME CQF04/2E Female Connector Insert?
The ILME CQF04/2E is a compact female industrial connector insert designed for combined power and auxiliary connections in machinery, drive systems and industrial automation equipment. As part of the established ILME CQ series, it combines four high-current poles, two auxiliary poles and protective earth within a compact size 32.13 format, with an integrated PE plate for connection to compatible metallic enclosures.
This insert uses crimp connection technology, allowing suitable contacts to be selected according to conductor size and application requirements. The four main power poles are rated at 40 A, while the two auxiliary poles are rated at 10 A, enabling power and control or signal circuits to be carried through a single heavy-duty connector assembly.
With main circuit ratings of 40 A at 400/690 V and auxiliary circuit ratings of 10 A at 250 V, the CQF04/2E is particularly suited to motor drives, frequency converters, conveyor systems and industrial machinery. The integrated PE plate provides an additional protective earth connection to compatible metallic connector housings.

Combined Power, Control and Protective Earth Connectivity
Mixed-contact heavy-duty connectors allow power and auxiliary circuits to pass through a single compact industrial connection point. The ILME CQF04/2E combines four 40 A power contacts with two 10 A auxiliary contacts, making it particularly useful for drive systems where motor power and associated control, monitoring or interlock circuits need to be connected together.
The integrated PE plate distinguishes the CQF04/2E by providing a direct protective earth interface with compatible metallic connector enclosures. Combined with secure crimp termination and a robust thermoplastic insert, this makes the connector well suited to demanding industrial drive, conveyor and automation installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial motor and drive connections.
- Frequency converter and motor starter systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Factory automation and production machinery.
- Robotics and automated handling systems.
- Combined power, control and protective earth connections.
