Why Choose the Ilme CQM04/2E Male Insert?
The Ilme CQM04/2E is a compact mixed-contact male connector insert from the Ilme CQ series, combining 4 power poles, 2 auxiliary poles and protective earth within a size 32.13 format. The four power circuits are rated at 40 A, 400/690 V, while the two auxiliary circuits are rated at 10 A, 250 V, providing power and control connectivity through a single detachable interface.
Unlike the standard CQ 04/2 version, the CQM04/2E incorporates an integrated PE plate that provides additional protective-earth contact with a suitable metallic enclosure. This design makes the insert particularly valuable for installations where effective protective bonding and enhanced EMC performance are required.
The insert uses crimp termination with contacts ordered separately, enabling conductors to be terminated securely and consistently for industrial machinery, automotive production equipment, automation systems and power installations. Its self-extinguishing polycarbonate insulating body is rated UL 94 V-0 and is designed for an operating temperature range of -40 to +125 °C.

Compact Power, Auxiliary and EMC-Ready Connectivity
The CQM04/2E allows higher-current power conductors and lower-current auxiliary circuits to be combined within one compact connector. Its four power contacts provide 40 A capacity while the two 10 A auxiliary positions can accommodate control, monitoring or signalling functions, reducing the need for separate connector assemblies.
The integrated PE plate distinguishes the CQM04/2E from the standard CQ 04/2 design by adding a direct protective-earth interface with a suitable metallic enclosure. When incorporated into an appropriately configured Ilme connector assembly, this feature supports effective enclosure bonding and improved EMC performance for electrically demanding industrial applications.
Typical Applications

- Automotive manufacturing and production machinery.
- Factory automation equipment.
- Robotics and automated handling systems.
- Power stations and electrical infrastructure equipment.
- Combined power, control and signalling connections.
- Industrial equipment requiring EMC-conscious connector design.
