Why Choose the ILME CTM16R Male Insert?
The ILME CTM16R is a robust male multipole wedge insert designed for dependable electrical connections in industrial machinery, automation equipment and control systems. Part of the ILME CT series, this right-hand insert combines a high-density 16-pole plus protective earth (PE) configuration with secure screw-terminal termination.
Rated at 16 A, the CTM16R provides a practical solution for carrying multiple power, control and auxiliary circuits through a single detachable industrial connector. Its screw terminals enable conductors to be securely terminated without separate crimp contacts, supporting straightforward assembly, servicing and field maintenance.
The right-hand wedge configuration allows the CTM16R to be incorporated into compatible ILME connector arrangements alongside complementary inserts. Its durable construction and male contact arrangement make it particularly suitable for machine building and industrial installations where reliable multipole connectivity and efficient use of connector space are required.
