Why Choose the ILME CDSM42N Male Insert?
The ILME CDSM42N, manufacturer reference CDSM 42 N, is a high-density male multipole connector insert from the ILME CDS series, featuring spring terminal connections and silver-plated male contacts. Designed for industrial rectangular connector applications, this insert provides 42 poles + PE numbered 43–84 and forms the second insert section used within an 84-pole + PE CDS connector configuration.
Rated at 10 A and 400 V with a 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage, the CDSM42N is engineered for reliable signal, control and low-current power connections in machinery and industrial automation equipment. Its spring terminal connection system accepts conductors from 0.14–2.5 mm² or 26–14 AWG, providing secure conductor termination without the need for crimp contacts.
The insert is manufactured from self-extinguishing polycarbonate with a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and uses turned silver-plated contacts for dependable electrical performance. When installed in a suitable ILME enclosure, the connector assembly can achieve IP65/IP66 protection, while the insert itself is rated IP20 without an enclosure.

High-Density Spring Connection for Industrial Multipole Connectors
High-density multipole connectors allow numerous electrical circuits to be connected and disconnected through a single robust connector assembly. This can significantly simplify machine installation, modular equipment construction and maintenance compared with individually disconnecting large numbers of conductors. Spring terminal technology also provides a secure connection while eliminating the need to crimp separate contacts onto each conductor.
The CDSM42N is specifically identified with pole numbers 43–84, allowing it to be used alongside the corresponding 1–42 section when creating a complete 84-pole + PE CDS connector configuration. Its compact high-density arrangement makes it particularly useful where numerous signal and control circuits need to pass through a single industrial rectangular connector interface.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and automation systems.
- High-density control and signal connections.
- Machine-to-panel electrical interfaces.
- Robotics and automated production equipment.
- Modular machinery requiring disconnectable wiring.
- Industrial control cabinets and switchgear.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- OEM equipment and machine building.
