COBTSFS Ilme Connector carrier for mobile mounting with clamp

Why Choose the ILME COBTSFS Connector Carrier?

The ILME COBTSFS is a robust insert carrier block kit for mobile mounting, designed for supporting compatible ILME multipole connector inserts inside industrial control panels, machinery and electrical equipment. Part of the ILME COB panel supports series, it provides a practical mounting solution where connector inserts need to remain accessible without using a conventional metal hood and housing arrangement.

The COBTSFS is supplied as a two-element carrier kit for inserts with a 27 mm screw fixing centre distance on the short side. Unlike the standard COBTSF, the COBTSFS incorporates provision for cable support bands or a cable clamp, allowing installers to provide effective strain relief and mechanical support for the connected cable or conductor bundle.

Manufactured from self-extinguishing thermoplastic material, the COBTSFS is engineered for industrial panel and machinery installations. The associated cable clamp arrangement can accommodate multipolar cables or bundles of individual conductors up to 25 mm diameter, while the carrier also provides locations for identification tags and threaded metallic inserts for secure insert fixing.

Mobile Connector Support with Integrated Cable Management

The ILME COB system enables multipole connector inserts to be mounted directly within industrial panels and machinery, providing an accessible alternative to conventional enclosed heavy-duty connector assemblies. The COBTSFS supports a compatible wired insert in a mobile configuration while providing dedicated facilities for securing and supporting its incoming cable or conductor bundle.

The provision for cable support bands or a robust cable clamp helps reduce mechanical loading on conductor terminations and improves cable management within the equipment. Threaded metallic inserts provide secure connector fixing, while identification-tag locations and optional coding facilities help installers organise multiple connector assemblies and reduce the risk of incorrect mating during installation or servicing.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control panels and electrical cabinets.
• Machine building and OEM equipment.
• Factory automation systems.
• Internal multipole connector assemblies.
• Production and process machinery.
• Applications requiring mobile insert mounting with cable strain relief.
