CX04BM Ilme Male insert 4 contacts & shielded bus connectors

Why Choose the Ilme CX04BM Male MIXO BUS Insert?

The Ilme CX04BM is a specialised 4-pole male shielded BUS modular insert designed for reliable industrial data transmission within Ilme MIXO multipole connector systems. Part of the Ilme MIXO BUS series, it combines four male contact positions with an integrated shield connection to provide a robust interface for shielded industrial communication cables.

Designed for industrial machinery, automation and fieldbus applications, the CX04BM is a shielded multi-axial connector for STP cables with two pairs. It supports terminations compliant with EN 50173-1 Category 5 at 100 MHz and is compatible with suitable four-wire fieldbus protocols, helping maintain reliable data transmission in electrically demanding industrial environments.

The CX04BM is rated at 10 A and 50 V, with a 0.8 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and pollution degree 3. It accepts separately ordered Ilme CDM series 10 A male crimp contacts for conductor sizes from 0.14 mm² to 2.5 mm² and operates across a wide temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.
