Why Choose the Ilme CSEM16 Male Spring-Terminal Insert?
The Ilme CSEM16 is a 16-pole + PE male industrial connector insert from the Ilme CSE series, designed for reliable multipole electrical connections in machinery, automation and control systems. Featuring spring terminal connection, a rated current of 16 A and a rated voltage of 500 V, it provides a robust alternative to conventional screw-terminal connector inserts.
The CSEM16 uses spring-clamp terminals to maintain consistent contact pressure on connected conductors, providing secure electrical termination without relying on terminal screws. It accepts conductor cross-sections from 0.14–2.5 mm² (AWG 26–14), making it suitable for a broad range of industrial power, control and auxiliary wiring applications.
Designed for size 77.27 connector enclosures, the CSEM16 provides 16 male poles plus protective earth (PE) in a compact rectangular insert. Turned silver-plated contacts, self-extinguishing thermoplastic insulation and a wide -40 °C to +125 °C operating temperature range support dependable service in demanding industrial installations.

Reliable Spring-Terminal Connections for Industrial Machinery
Spring-terminal technology maintains continuous clamping pressure on connected conductors, helping create reliable electrical connections in industrial environments where machinery may be exposed to vibration and repeated operating cycles. The absence of conventional terminal screws also reduces the need to maintain a specified screw-tightening torque during installation.
The CSEM16 combines this connection technology with 16 male poles plus PE in the widely used size 77.27 format. When installed in a suitable Ilme enclosure and paired with the corresponding female insert, it provides a robust detachable interface for power, control and auxiliary circuits used throughout modern machinery and automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and machine tools.
- Factory automation and production systems.
- Packaging and materials-handling machinery.
- Electrical control and distribution equipment.
- Motor, actuator and auxiliary circuit connections.
- OEM machinery and modular industrial equipment.
