CTSEF16R Ilme Female wedge insert right 16 pole and earth 1 amp spring
Ilme CTSEF16R is a size 77.27 right-side female industrial connector insert with 16 poles plus protective earth, 16 A 500 V ratings and spring terminal connections for machinery and automation wiring.
Why Choose the Ilme CTSEF16R Female 16 Pole + PE Spring Insert?
The Ilme CTSEF16R is a 16-pole + PE female industrial connector insert from the Ilme CTSE series, designed for dependable multipole connections in machinery, automation equipment and industrial control systems. This right-side version combines a 16 A current rating with spring terminal technology and an integrated terminal block for efficient industrial wiring.
The CTSEF16R uses a spring terminal connection, accepting conductors directly at the rear of the insert and maintaining consistent contact pressure without conventional screw-terminal tightening. This arrangement can simplify machine wiring, reduce the need for separate terminal blocks and provide reliable connections in industrial environments subject to vibration and repeated operating cycles.
Designed in the 77.27 size, the CTSEF16R provides 16 poles plus protective earth and is rated at 16 A and 500 V, with a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV. It accepts conductor cross-sections from 0.14–2.50 mm² and features silver-plated contacts, making it a robust female connection solution for compatible Ilme heavy-duty connector assemblies.
