Why Choose the Ilme CSHF16N SQUICH® Female Insert?
The Ilme CSHF16N is a high-performance 16-pole + PE female industrial connector insert featuring Ilme's innovative SQUICH® spring terminal connection. Designed for fast, tool-free conductor termination, this CSH-series insert provides a reliable solution for power, control and auxiliary connections in industrial machinery, automation systems and electrical equipment.
The CSHF16N uses SQUICH® spring terminal technology with push-in actuators, allowing prepared conductors to be terminated without conventional screw tightening. The spring connection maintains consistent contact pressure while the actuator system simplifies wiring, helping machine builders and panel builders reduce installation and maintenance time while maintaining dependable electrical connections.
Rated at 16 A and 500 V, with a 6 kV impulse withstand voltage, the CSHF16N accepts conductors from 0.14–2.50 mm² or AWG 26–14. This N-version uses pole numbering 17–32 and the extended 77.62 size, making it suitable as the second 16-pole insert within compatible 32-pole + PE connector configurations.
