Why Choose the Ilme CX3.0PF Female Pneumatic Contact?
The Ilme CX3.0PF is a female thermoplastic pneumatic contact without a closing valve, designed for compressed-air connections within compatible Ilme MIXO modular connector assemblies. It is specifically designed for pneumatic tubing with a 3 mm internal diameter, providing a compact solution for integrating air lines into heavy-duty industrial connector systems.
Part of the Ilme MIXO Pneumatic range, the CX3.0PF features a straight tube connection and a durable polyamide (PA) body. Unlike the corresponding CX3.0VC valved female contact, the CX3.0PF has no automatic closing valve, allowing an open pneumatic path when the connector is separated.
The CX3.0PF is designed for installation in compatible MIXO pneumatic modules and provides dependable performance in industrial machinery and automation applications. With an ambient temperature range of -40 °C to +80 °C, insulation resistance of at least 10 GΩ and a mechanical life of at least 500 mating cycles, it is engineered for repeatable detachable pneumatic connections.
Key Advantages
Female pneumatic contact for Ilme MIXO modular connector systems.
Designed for pneumatic tubing with a 3 mm internal diameter.
Without closing valve for applications where automatic air shut-off is not required.

Compact Pneumatic Connectivity for MIXO Assemblies
The Ilme MIXO Pneumatic system enables compressed-air circuits to be incorporated into modular heavy-duty connector assemblies alongside compatible electrical, signal and data functions. The CX3.0PF provides a compact female connection for 3 mm ID pneumatic tubing, making it suitable for machinery interfaces where multiple services need to be connected and disconnected together.
Because the CX3.0PF is supplied without a closing valve, it does not automatically shut off the pneumatic path when the connector is uncoupled. This makes it suitable for circuits where automatic isolation is unnecessary or where pressure is controlled elsewhere in the pneumatic system. For applications requiring automatic shut-off on the female side, the corresponding valved CX3.0VC contact can be selected instead.
Typical Applications
Industrial pneumatic control systems.
Factory automation equipment.
Pneumatic actuators and cylinders.
Robotics and automated handling systems.
Production and packaging machinery.
Machine compressed-air distribution.
Detachable machinery service interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ilme CX3.0PF?
The CX3.0PF is a female thermoplastic pneumatic contact for compatible Ilme MIXO modular connector systems, designed for compressed-air tubing with a 3 mm internal diameter.
What size pneumatic tube does the CX3.0PF accept?
The CX3.0PF is designed for pneumatic tubing with an internal diameter of 3 mm.
Does the CX3.0PF have a closing valve?
No. The CX3.0PF is a female pneumatic contact without a closing valve, so it does not automatically close the pneumatic path when the connector is separated.
What material is the CX3.0PF made from?
The CX3.0PF has a polyamide (PA) thermoplastic body in RAL 9005 black.
What is the difference between the CX3.0PF and CX3.0VC?
Both are female pneumatic contacts for 3 mm ID tubing. The CX3.0PF is supplied without a closing valve, while the CX3.0VC incorporates a closing valve for automatic pneumatic isolation when uncoupled.
What is the mechanical life of the CX3.0PF?
The CX3.0PF is specified for a mechanical life of at least 500 mating cycles, making it suitable for industrial machinery interfaces requiring repeated connection and disconnection.
