Why Choose the ILME CX6.0MPAF Female Angled Metal Pneumatic Contact?
The ILME CX6.0MPAF, manufacturer part number CX 6.0 MPAF, is a female metal pneumatic contact designed for the ILME MIXO modular connector system. It features an angled 90° quick-fitting connection for pneumatic tubing with a 6 mm outside diameter, providing a compact solution where installation space or tube routing makes a straight pneumatic fitting less practical.
The CX6.0MPAF uses a push-in quick-fitting connection, allowing suitable 6 mm OD pneumatic tubing to be inserted directly into the fitting. Its angled fitting is orientable through 90° to support efficient tube routing, while this particular female contact is supplied without a shut-off valve for pneumatic circuits where automatic isolation at disconnection is not required.
Manufactured primarily from nickel-plated brass with polyamide components, the CX6.0MPAF is designed for clean and dry compressed-air systems operating at pressures up to 10 bar. It forms part of ILME's MIXO metal pneumatic system, allowing compressed air to be incorporated alongside compatible power, control, signal and data modules within one heavy-duty connector assembly.

Reliable Angled Pneumatic Connections for Industrial Machinery
The ILME CX6.0MPAF combines a 90° angled fitting with a push-in quick connection designed around the outside diameter of the pneumatic tube. Suitable 6 mm OD tubing is inserted directly into the fitting, while the angled arrangement provides an efficient way to route pneumatic lines where enclosure depth, cable exits or nearby components make a straight fitting inconvenient.
When installed in a compatible ILME MIXO metal pneumatic module, the CX6.0MPAF allows compressed-air circuits to share a configurable industrial connector with electrical and communication services. ILME specifies its metal pneumatic contact system for clean and dry compressed air at pressures up to 10 bar, with CRM CX and CRF CX coding and guiding pins required for pneumatic contact modules.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery with restricted pneumatic tube routing space.
- Factory automation and robotic equipment.
- Pneumatic actuator and control systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Machine interfaces requiring angled compressed-air connections.
- MIXO assemblies combining pneumatic, electrical, signal and data services.
