Why Choose the ILME CR GND Metal Earthing Adaptor?
The ILME CR GND is an optional metal earthing adaptor designed for ILME MIXO BUS and MIXO COAX CX 02 B modular inserts. Its specific purpose is to provide an earth connection for the shields of compatible shielded BUS and coaxial connectors when the application requires the cable shield to be connected to the enclosure's protective earthing system.
In the CX 02 B system, the shields of the installed shielded connectors are normally insulated from the enclosure's earthing point. Installing the CR GND provides a deliberate conductive path that allows the connector shield to be earth-connected, making it a useful accessory for industrial communication and signal installations where shield grounding is required as part of the system design.
The CR GND is designed for use with CX 02 BF and CX 02 BM two-seat holders, which can accommodate compatible CX 01 BC, CX 01 B, CX 04 B and CX 08 B shielded connectors. Its compact metal construction measures approximately 23 × 19 mm with a height of approximately 4.6 mm, allowing it to integrate neatly into compatible MIXO assemblies.
Key Advantages
- Purpose-designed earthing adaptor for ILME MIXO BUS and MIXO COAX applications.
- Allows compatible connector shields to be connected to earth.
- Designed for CX 02 B two-seat shielded connector holders.
- Compatible with both CX 02 BF female and CX 02 BM male holders.
- Provides an alternative to using a CR..ST shielded-cable anchorage where appropriate.
- Compact metal construction integrates directly into the modular connector assembly.
Key Features
- ILME MIXO accessory.
- Metal earthing adaptor.
- Designed for MIXO BUS and MIXO COAX applications.
- Compatible with CX 02 B inserts.
- Supports CX 02 BF and CX 02 BM two-seat holders.
- Provides earth connection for otherwise isolated connector shields.
- Suitable for assemblies containing compatible CX 01 BC, CX 01 B, CX 04 B or CX 08 B shielded connectors.
- Optional accessory for applications requiring shield-to-earth connection.
Effective Shield Earthing for MIXO BUS and COAX Connections
ILME CX 02 B holders are designed so that the shields of installed BUS and coaxial connectors are insulated from the enclosure's earthing point. Where the electrical design requires those shields to be connected to earth, the CR GND provides the required metal earthing interface. This allows the installer to establish the intended shield-to-earth connection within the compatible MIXO assembly.
The CR GND can therefore be particularly useful in industrial communication, automation and instrumentation systems where correct shield management forms part of the installation's electromagnetic compatibility strategy. ILME also identifies CR..ST shielded-cable anchorages as an alternative method for applications requiring an earth connection for cable shielding.
Typical Applications
- ILME MIXO BUS modular connector assemblies.
- ILME MIXO COAX modular connector assemblies.
- CX 02 BF and CX 02 BM shielded connector holders.
- Industrial communication and fieldbus connections.
- Shielded signal and data connections.
- Factory automation and production machinery.
- Industrial control and instrumentation equipment.
- Applications requiring connector shields to be connected to earth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ILME CR GND used for?
The CR GND is a metal earthing adaptor used with compatible ILME MIXO BUS and MIXO COAX CX 02 B assemblies to connect the shields of installed shielded connectors to earth.
Which ILME inserts are compatible with the CR GND?
The CR GND is designed for the CX 02 B system, including the CX 02 BF female and CX 02 BM male two-seat holders used with compatible shielded BUS and coaxial connectors.
Why is the CR GND required for shield earthing?
Compatible shielded connectors installed in the CX 02 B holder have their shields insulated from the enclosure's earthing point. Where the system design requires the shield to be earthed, the CR GND provides a metal connection for that purpose.
Which shielded connector families can be used in the CX 02 B holder?
The CX 02 B holder can accommodate combinations of compatible CX 01 BC, CX 01 B, CX 04 B and CX 08 B shielded connectors, subject to the correct mating arrangement.
Is the ILME CR GND compulsory in every CX 02 B installation?
No. The CR GND is an optional earthing adaptor. It is used when the application requires the connector shield to be electrically connected to earth rather than remaining insulated from the enclosure's earthing point.
