Why Choose the Ilme CCMF0.5 Male Iron Crimp Contact?
The Ilme CCMF0.5 is a specialised male iron crimp contact from the Ilme CC series, designed for compatible industrial multipole connector inserts. Unlike standard copper-alloy contacts intended for conventional electrical circuits, the CCMF0.5 is manufactured from iron for use as part of Type J thermocouple connections.
Rated at 16 A, the CCMF0.5 is designed for a conductor cross-section of 0.5 mm², corresponding to 20 AWG. Its turned construction provides the precise contact geometry required for compatible Ilme connector systems, while crimp termination enables a secure mechanical connection to the prepared conductor.
Ilme specifies a 7.5 mm stripping length and a 1.1 mm conductor slot diameter for the 0.5 mm² version. Used with the corresponding constantan contact arrangement, the iron CCMF0.5 supports Type J thermocouple circuits compliant with EN 60584-1, making it particularly suited to industrial temperature measurement and process-control installations.

Purpose-Designed for Type J Thermocouple Connectivity
Thermocouple circuits depend on the correct conductor and contact materials to preserve the thermoelectric characteristics of the measurement circuit. The CCMF0.5 therefore uses iron rather than the conventional contact materials found in general-purpose connector contacts, allowing it to form the iron side of a compatible Type J iron-constantan thermocouple connection.
With its 0.5 mm² / 20 AWG conductor capacity, turned male geometry and crimp termination, the CCMF0.5 provides a practical way to integrate Type J temperature-measurement circuits into compatible Ilme multipole connector systems. Ilme recommends using homologated crimping tools to achieve the specified termination quality.
Typical Applications
- Type J thermocouple connector assemblies.
- Industrial temperature measurement systems.
- Process-control and monitoring equipment.
- Industrial ovens, furnaces and heating equipment.
- Machine temperature sensing and instrumentation.
- Compatible Ilme multipole connector assemblies carrying thermocouple circuits.
