Why Choose the ILME CQM08 Male Insert?
The ILME CQM08 is a compact 8-pole plus protective earth male connector insert designed for heavy-duty industrial electrical connections. Part of the ILME CQ series, it combines a 16 A, 500 V rating with crimp termination in the space-saving size 32.13 format.
The CQM08 is designed for use with separately ordered 16 A male crimp contacts, allowing the appropriate contact to be selected for the conductor cross-section required by the installation. Compatible ILME contacts cover conductors from 0.14–4 mm², making the insert suitable for a wide range of power, control and auxiliary circuits in industrial machinery and automation equipment.
With a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV, pollution degree 3 and a minimum mechanical durability of 500 mating cycles, the CQM08 provides reliable performance for repeatedly connected industrial equipment. When installed in a suitable ILME enclosure, the completed connector assembly can achieve IP66 / IP67 / IP69 ingress protection.
Key Advantages
- 8 poles plus protective earth provide a compact multipole industrial connection.
- 16 A, 500 V rating for industrial power, control and auxiliary circuits.

Reliable Compact Multipole Connections for Industrial Equipment
The ILME CQM08 provides eight male contact positions plus a dedicated protective-earth connection within the compact size 32.13 format. This makes it particularly useful where machinery and control equipment require multiple detachable circuits but installation space is restricted.
The crimp-contact system allows each contact to be selected for the required conductor cross-section before being securely terminated and fitted into the insert. When paired with the corresponding female CQ insert and installed in a compatible ILME enclosure, the CQM08 forms a robust connector system capable of supporting high ingress protection and repeated connection cycles in industrial environments.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Factory automation systems.
- Machine power and control interfaces.
- Electrical control panels and cabinets.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Compact multipole power, control and auxiliary connections.
