Ilme AXYR: Fast, Tool-Free Industrial Connections from LED Controls

The Ilme AXYR system is an exciting alternative to cable crimping for your industrial connections. AXYR uses push-in connection technology that delivers peak electrical performance without the need for tools. Simplify your wiring with this compact, reliable and reusable system from Ilme and LED Controls.
How does Ilme AXYR work?
Ilme AXYR is a spring-based electrical connection system. Instead of crimping a wire, you insert your conductor directly into the contact. A built-in spring clamps the wire securely in place, applying constant pressure to create a stable electrical connection that can withstand vibration, movement, and temperature changes. The result is a connection that is faster, simpler, easier to maintain and perfect for all your industrial electrification needs.

- Solid or ferruled wires can be pushed directly into the terminal.
- Stranded wires can be inserted by opening the spring with a small screwdriver.
- Simply press the actuator to release the spring and remove your wire.

Key Benefits of Ilme AXYR
- Faster installation
- No crimping tools are required, reducing installation time and labour.
- Simple operation
- Wiring is completed by inserting the wire, reducing reliance on specialist skills.
- High reliability
- The spring mechanism maintains contact pressure, making connections resistant to vibration and thermal changes.
- Space saving
- High connection density allows more circuits in a smaller connector.
- Reusable connections
- Wires can be removed and reconnected, unlike crimped terminations.
- Wide wire compatibility
- Suitable for solid, stranded, and ferruled conductors across a broad range of sizes.
