Why Choose the ILME CNEF16T Female Insert?

The ILME CNEF16T is a robust female industrial connector insert designed for reliable multipole electrical connections in machinery, automation systems and heavy-duty industrial equipment. As part of the ILME CNE series, it provides 16 poles plus protective earth within a compact size 77.27 format, making it suitable for power, control and signal connections requiring a removable industrial interface.

The CNEF16T uses screw terminal connections with a protective plate, allowing both prepared and non-prepared conductors to be securely terminated. The contacts are rated at 16 A and 500 V with a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV at pollution degree 3, providing dependable electrical performance for demanding industrial installations.

Designed for size 77.27 enclosures, the CNEF16T accepts conductors from 0.50 mm² to 4.00 mm² and features turned silver-plated copper-alloy contacts within a self-extinguishing polycarbonate insulating body. When installed in a suitable ILME enclosure, the complete connector assembly can provide up to IP65 / IP66 / IP68 / IP69 protection for demanding industrial environments.
