Why Choose the Ilme CTSEF16L Female 16 Pole + PE Spring Insert?
The Ilme CTSEF16L is a 16-pole + PE female industrial connector insert from the Ilme CTSE series, designed for reliable multipole connections in machinery, automation equipment and industrial control systems. This left-side mounting version combines a 16 A current rating with spring terminal technology and an incorporated terminal block for efficient industrial wiring.
The CTSEF16L uses a spring terminal connection, maintaining consistent pressure on connected conductors without relying on conventional screw-clamping terminals. This termination method provides a secure and serviceable connection while helping simplify wiring in applications where vibration, maintenance requirements and long-term connection reliability are important.
Designed in the 77.27 size, the CTSEF16L provides 16 poles plus protective earth and is rated at 16 A and 500 V, with a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV. It accepts conductors from 0.14–2.50 mm² or AWG 26–14 and features turned silver-plated contacts for dependable industrial electrical performance.
