Why Choose the Ilme CX7MA16 Male 70 A Crimp Contact?

The Ilme CX7MA16 is a high-current male crimp contact designed for reliable electrical connections in heavy-duty industrial connector systems. Part of the Ilme CX7 contact series, it features a precision-turned, silver-plated contact and is engineered for demanding power connections in industrial machinery, automation equipment and control systems.

Designed for conductors with a cross-sectional area of 16 mm², the CX7MA16 provides a secure crimp termination with a rated current of 70 A. Its copper-alloy construction and silver-plated contact surface provide excellent electrical conductivity, low contact resistance and dependable performance where high-current industrial connections are required.

The CX7MA16 accommodates 16 mm² conductors in the AWG 6–5 range and requires a conductor stripping length of 15 mm. With a specified contact resistance of no more than 0.5 mΩ and mechanical durability of at least 500 mating cycles, it provides a robust connection solution for compatible Ilme heavy-duty connector assemblies.
