Why Choose the ILME CXM6/12 Male Mixed-Pole Insert?
The ILME CXM6/12 is a versatile male mixed-pole heavy-duty connector insert designed to combine power, control and auxiliary circuits within a single industrial connector. Part of the ILME CX series, it provides 6 power poles plus protective earth together with 12 auxiliary poles, offering an efficient connection solution for industrial machinery and automation equipment.
The CXM6/12 uses crimp termination, enabling secure and dependable conductor connections using separately selected contacts. Its six main power positions are rated at 40 A and 690 V, while the twelve auxiliary positions are rated at 10 A and 230/400 V, allowing higher-current power and lower-current control circuits to be carried through the same connector assembly.
Designed in the compact size 77.27 format, the CXM6/12 is compatible with suitable ILME heavy-duty connector enclosures. Its durable polycarbonate construction, wide operating temperature range and minimum 500-cycle mechanical life make it well suited to demanding industrial installations requiring reliable and serviceable mixed power and signal connectivity.
