Why Choose the ILME CXM4/8RY Male Mixed-Pole Insert?
The ILME CXM4/8RY is a high-temperature male mixed-pole heavy-duty connector insert designed to combine power and auxiliary circuits within a single industrial connector. Part of the ILME CX RY series, it provides 4 power poles plus protective earth together with 8 auxiliary poles, making it ideal for machinery and equipment requiring both high-current power and control connections.
The CXM4/8RY uses screw terminal connections and incorporates silver-plated male contacts. Its four main power contacts are rated at 80 A and 400 V, while the eight auxiliary contacts are rated at 16 A and 230/400 V. This mixed configuration allows substantial power and multiple control or auxiliary circuits to be connected through one robust interface.
Specifically engineered for elevated-temperature environments, the RY version supports an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +180 °C. The insert uses the size 104.27 format and is suitable for compatible ILME heavy-duty connector enclosures, providing a durable connection solution for demanding industrial applications.
