Why Choose the ILME CX3.0MPQM Male Metal Pneumatic Contact?
The ILME CX3.0MPQM, manufacturer part number CX 3.0 MPQM, is a male metal pneumatic contact designed for the ILME MIXO modular connector system. It features a straight, quick-fitting connection for pneumatic tubing with a 3 mm outside diameter, providing a compact detachable compressed-air interface for industrial machinery and automation equipment.
The CX3.0MPQM uses a push-in quick-fitting tube connection, allowing suitable 3 mm OD pneumatic tubing to be connected without a conventional hose-barb termination. Its nickel-plated brass construction provides mechanical durability for demanding industrial environments, while polyamide components support the contact's pneumatic connection and insulation requirements.
This male contact is supplied without a shut-off valve and is designed for clean, dry compressed-air systems operating at pressures up to 10 bar. With an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +80 °C and a mechanical life of at least 500 mating cycles, it provides a robust pneumatic connection for compatible MIXO metal pneumatic modules.

Reliable Quick-Fitting Pneumatic Connections for Industrial Machinery
The ILME CX3.0MPQM uses a quick-fitting connection designed around the outside diameter of the pneumatic tube. Suitable 3 mm OD tubing is pushed into the contact's fitting to establish the pneumatic connection, helping simplify assembly and tube replacement compared with traditional hose-barb arrangements.
When installed in a compatible ILME MIXO metal pneumatic module, the CX3.0MPQM enables compressed-air circuits to form part of a modular heavy-duty connector assembly. ILME specifies MIXO metal pneumatic contacts for pressures up to 10 bar using clean and dry compressed air; appropriate CRM CX and CRF CX coding and guiding pins are also required when assembling pneumatic contact modules.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery pneumatic interfaces.
- Factory automation and robotic equipment.
- Pneumatic actuator and control systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Heavy-duty MIXO connectors combining pneumatic, electrical and data services.
