Why Choose the Ilme CRBDE Bridge for Delta Connection?
The Ilme CRBDE, also identified as CR BDE, is a purpose-designed 2-pole bridge for delta connection in compatible Ilme multipole connector inserts. It incorporates two bridged female 10 A contacts with silver-plated contact surfaces and an open-type crimp barrel, providing a compact solution for creating motor delta connections through an industrial connector.
The CRBDE is designed for compatible CQF 12 and CDDF 24, 42, 72 and 108 contact inserts. It accepts conductors from 1.5–2.5 mm² (16–14 AWG) and is terminated by crimping, allowing the bridge and phase conductor to be incorporated into the connector wiring without conventional external terminal links.
A typical three-phase delta arrangement requires three CRBDE bridges, with heat-shrink identification for phases L1, L2 and L3. This makes the accessory particularly useful for industrial motor connections where power, auxiliary circuits and protective earth need to be integrated into a compact multipole connector system.

Integrated Delta Wiring for Industrial Motor Connections
In a typical three-phase motor delta connection, three CRBDE bridges are used to establish the required winding connections through the connector. With a CQ 12 arrangement, the bridges can be used for phase connections such as U1/W2, V1/U2 and W1/V2, enabling the motor-side delta configuration to be incorporated into the multipole connector system.
Ilme specifies crimp termination for 1.5–2.5 mm² conductors using CRPZ crimping pliers with the CRD matrix. In the typical installation, each of the three bridges is fitted with heat-shrink identification corresponding to L1, L2 and L3, helping provide clear phase identification during installation and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ilme CRBDE used for?
The Ilme CRBDE is a 2-pole bridge for creating delta connections in compatible Ilme CQF and CDDF industrial connector inserts, particularly in three-phase motor wiring applications.
How many contacts does the CRBDE have?
The CRBDE incorporates two bridged female contacts, each designed for a rated current of 10 A.
Which Ilme inserts are compatible with the CRBDE?
The CRBDE is designed for compatible CQF 12 inserts and CDDF 24, 42, 72 and 108 contact inserts. For CQF 12 applications, the applicable enclosure configuration must also be observed.
What conductor sizes can be crimped to the CRBDE?
The CRBDE is designed for conductors from 1.5–2.5 mm², equivalent to approximately 16–14 AWG.
How many CRBDE bridges are normally required for a delta connection?
A typical three-phase delta wiring arrangement requires three CRBDE bridges, normally identified individually for phases L1, L2 and L3.
Which crimping tools are specified for the CRBDE?
Ilme specifies the CRPZ crimping pliers with the CRD matrix at position 2.5 for terminating the applicable 1.5–2.5 mm² conductors.
What is the difference between the Ilme CRBDE and CRBST?
The CRBDE is designed for a delta connection, whereas the CRBST is the corresponding Ilme accessory designed for a star connection.
