Why Choose the Ilme CQF05 Female Crimp Insert?

The Ilme CQF05 is a compact female multipole connector insert designed for reliable electrical connections in industrial machinery, automation systems and control equipment. Part of the Ilme CQ series, it provides 5 poles plus protective earth (5+PE) and uses crimp termination for secure and dependable conductor connections.

Designed for use with compatible Ilme rectangular connector housings, the CQF05 has a rated current of 16 A and a rated voltage of 230/400 V. Its compact 21.21 size allows multiple circuits to be accommodated within a space-efficient industrial connector assembly, making it particularly useful for machine building and panel wiring applications.

The insert is manufactured from self-extinguishing thermoplastic insulating material and is designed for use with separately ordered 16 A female crimp contacts. With a rated impulse withstand voltage of 4 kV, pollution degree 3 and an operating temperature range of -40 to +125 °C, the CQF05 provides a robust connection platform for demanding industrial environments.
