Why Choose the ILME CX08BM 8-Pole + Shield Male MIXO BUS Connector?
The ILME CX08BM is a male shielded BUS multi-coaxial connector designed for industrial signal and communication connections within the ILME MIXO modular connector system. It provides 8 contact seats plus shielding, combining multiple low-current circuits with effective shielding in a compact connector format.
Rated at 5 A and 50 V, the CX08BM is specified according to EN 61984 at 5 A, 50 V, 0.8 kV, pollution degree 3. The shielded construction makes it particularly suitable for industrial communication and signal circuits operating in electrically noisy environments alongside motors, drives and other automation equipment.
The CX08BM uses separately ordered CI series 5 A male crimp contacts and supports conductor cross-sections from 0.08 mm² to 0.52 mm². Both silver-plated and gold-plated contacts are available, while two cable clamps are included with the connector for secure cable retention.

Shielded Multi-Coaxial Connectivity for Industrial Signals
Industrial data and signal circuits can be exposed to electromagnetic interference generated by drives, motors, switching devices and other electrical equipment. The CX08BM combines eight electrical contacts with a surrounding shield, providing a compact interface designed for shielded BUS and multi-signal connections in demanding industrial environments.
The connector accepts CI series male crimp contacts for 0.08–0.21 mm², 0.13–0.33 mm² and 0.33–0.52 mm² conductors. Silver- and gold-plated versions are available, enabling the contact system to be selected according to application requirements. Female and male shielded connectors can be fitted in either female or male compatible holder/adapter inserts within the MIXO system.
