Why Choose the Ilme CX1/2BDM Male Shielded BUS Connector Adaptor?

The Ilme CX1/2BDM is a compact male adaptor insert for shielded BUS and coaxial connectors designed for Ilme size 21.21 heavy-duty connector assemblies. Part of the Ilme CX BD adaptor series, it provides one seat for a shielded BUS connector together with two positions for auxiliary male contacts, allowing data and auxiliary electrical circuits to be combined within one compact industrial interface.

Designed for industrial communication, machinery and automation applications, the CX1/2BDM accommodates 1 shielded connector plus 2 male 10 A auxiliary contacts. The auxiliary contacts use crimp termination and can accommodate conductors from 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm² when the appropriate Ilme CDM contact is selected.

The CX1/2BDM has electrical characteristics of 10 A, 50 V, 0.8 kV and pollution degree 3 for the auxiliary contact system. Its polycarbonate construction, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and wide -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range provide a durable solution for compact industrial connectivity.

Key Advantages

  • Combines 1 shielded BUS connector and 2 auxiliary male contacts in one compact adaptor.
  • Designed for size 21.21 Ilme connector assemblies.

Compact Shielded BUS and Auxiliary Connectivity for Industrial Systems

Industrial machinery frequently requires communication connections and auxiliary electrical circuits to pass through the same compact equipment interface. Combining these functions within one connector can simplify machine wiring, reduce the number of separate connection points and provide a more serviceable interface for equipment installation and maintenance.

The Ilme CX1/2BDM provides a single shielded BUS connector position plus two 10 A auxiliary male contact positions within a size 21.21 adaptor. Compatible shielded connectors of either gender can be accommodated when the mating connector is configured with the correct mirror-image assignment, providing additional flexibility when designing industrial communication interfaces.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial BUS and communication connections.
  • Shielded data and coaxial interfaces.
  • Factory automation and production machinery.
  • PLC and industrial control systems.
  • Control cabinets and machine interfaces.
  • Robotics and automated manufacturing equipment.
  • Compact size 21.21 industrial connector assemblies.
