Why Choose the ILME CX05SM Male 5-Pole Spring Terminal Modular Insert?

The ILME CX05SM is a compact and reliable 5-pole male modular insert with spring terminal connections, designed for industrial power and control connections within the ILME MIXO modular connector system. Part of the versatile ILME MIXO series, it provides a rated current of 16 A and rated voltage of 400 V while occupying only one module in a compatible MIXO frame.

The CX05SM uses spring terminal technology to provide secure conductor connections without the maintenance requirements associated with conventional screw terminals. It accepts conductors from 0.14–2.50 mm² (AWG 26–14), making it suitable for a wide range of industrial wiring applications. Turned silver-plated contacts provide low contact resistance and dependable electrical performance.

With a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV, pollution degree 3 and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C, the CX05SM is engineered for demanding machinery and automation environments. Its single-module format allows power and control connections to be combined with other MIXO modules to create customised heavy-duty connector assemblies.

Reliable Spring Terminal Connectivity for Industrial Machinery

Spring terminal connections maintain consistent contact pressure on the conductor, helping provide dependable electrical connections in industrial equipment subject to vibration and repeated operating cycles. The CX05SM combines this termination technology with turned silver-plated contacts to provide a robust interface for power and control circuits.

The ILME MIXO system allows different power, signal, data and other connection functions to be combined within a configurable heavy-duty connector. As the CX05SM occupies only one module, machine builders and automation engineers can incorporate five 16 A electrical connections while retaining space for other compatible MIXO modules in the same connector assembly.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machinery and automation systems.
  • Control panels and electrical cabinets.
  • Robotics and automated production equipment.
  • Packaging and processing machinery.
  • Machine tools and manufacturing equipment.
  • Material handling and conveyor systems.
  • OEM machinery and modular connector assemblies.
