Why Choose the Ilme CTM40L Male Wedge Insert?
The Ilme CTM40L is a 40-pole + PE male industrial connector insert from the Ilme CT series, designed for high-density multipole connections in machinery, automation and electrical control systems. It features reliable screw terminal connections, an incorporated terminal block and a left-side mounting configuration for compatible CT-series connector assemblies.
Manufacturer data rates the CTM40L at 10 A and 250 V, with a 4 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and pollution degree 3. It accepts conductors from 0.75–2.5 mm² (AWG 18–14), providing a practical screw-terminal interface for numerous control, signal and auxiliary circuits within a single industrial connector.
Designed in the established size 77.27 format, the CTM40L combines 40 male contacts with protective earth in a compact wedge-style insert. Turned silver-plated contacts, a wide -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range and a mechanical life of at least 500 mating cycles support dependable service in demanding industrial installations.
