Why Choose the ILME CQM12 Male Connector Insert?
The ILME CQM12 is a compact and reliable male industrial connector insert designed for multi-pole electrical connections in machinery, automation and industrial control systems. As part of the established ILME CQ series, it provides 12 poles plus protective earth within the compact size 21.21 format, making it suitable for applications where connection density and installation space are important.
This insert uses crimp connection technology, allowing contacts to be selected according to the conductor size required by the application. The removable crimp contact system provides secure, low-resistance connections and simplifies assembly and maintenance, while the robust polycarbonate insert is designed to withstand the demanding conditions encountered in industrial machinery.
With a rated current of 10 A and rated voltage of 400 V, the CQM12 is suitable for power, control and signal circuits in industrial equipment. Its size 21.21 format enables installation within compatible compact ILME hoods and housings to create a robust, quick-disconnect industrial connector assembly.
