CQF21 Ilme Female insert 21 pole 6.5 amp crimp Size 21.21
ILME CQF21 is a compact CQ series female crimp connector insert with 21 poles, a maximum 6.5 A current rating and 50 V AC nominal rated voltage in the size 21.21 format for industrial signal and control connections.
Why Choose the ILME CQF21 Female Connector Insert?
The ILME CQF21 is a compact, high-density female multipole connector insert designed for reliable signal and control connections in industrial machinery, automation equipment and electrical systems. Part of the ILME CQ series, it provides 21 poles within the compact size 21.21 format and uses replaceable crimp contacts for secure conductor termination.
The CQF21 is designed for use with compatible ILME rectangular multipole connector hoods and housings. Its crimp termination system accepts separately ordered female contacts, allowing the appropriate contact to be selected for conductor cross-sections from 0.08–0.52 mm². This makes the insert particularly suitable for applications requiring numerous low-current circuits within a small connector footprint.
Rated at up to 6.5 A with a nominal rated voltage of 50 V AC, the CQF21 provides a space-efficient solution for industrial signal, instrumentation and control wiring. Its thermoplastic insulating body, broad operating temperature range and robust construction support dependable service in demanding industrial environments.
