Why Choose the ILME CX3.0MPQV Female Metal Pneumatic Contact?
The ILME CX3.0MPQV, manufacturer part number CX 3.0 MPQV, is a female metal pneumatic contact with an integral shut-off valve designed for the ILME MIXO modular connector system. Its straight quick-fitting connection accepts pneumatic tubing with a 3 mm outside diameter, providing a compact detachable compressed-air interface for industrial machinery and automation equipment.
The CX3.0MPQV uses an OD push-in quick-fitting connection, allowing suitable 3 mm pneumatic tubing to be inserted directly into the fitting. The integrated shut-off valve automatically closes the female pneumatic contact when the connector is disconnected, helping isolate the compressed-air line and reduce unwanted air loss during machine disconnection or maintenance.
Designed for ILME MIXO metal pneumatic modules, the CX3.0MPQV is suitable for clean and dry compressed air at pressures up to 10 bar. ILME specifies a working temperature range of -40 °C to +80 °C for its MIXO pneumatic contact system, making this contact suitable for demanding industrial connection applications.

Reliable Valved Pneumatic Connections for Industrial Machinery
The ILME CX3.0MPQV combines a quick-fitting pneumatic connection with an integrated shut-off valve. Suitable 3 mm OD tubing is pushed directly into the fitting, while the valve closes the female contact when the connector is unmated. This arrangement is particularly useful where machinery or modules need to be disconnected without leaving the supply-side pneumatic connection permanently open.
When installed in a compatible ILME MIXO pneumatic module, the CX3.0MPQV allows compressed-air circuits to form part of the same modular interface as electrical and data connections. ILME specifies pneumatic contacts for pressures up to 10 bar using clean, dry compressed air and requires appropriate CRM CX and CRF CX coding and guiding pins when pneumatic contact modules are used.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery pneumatic interfaces.
- Factory automation and robotic equipment.
- Pneumatic actuator and control systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Detachable pneumatic circuits requiring automatic shut-off.
- MIXO connector assemblies combining pneumatic, electrical and data services.
