Male crimp contact · 16 AWG 1.5 mm2 · 10A silver-plated · heavy-duty connector insert contact · CDMA1.5 Industria Lombarda Materiale Elettrico

What this product is for

This is a male crimp contact for ILME heavy-duty rectangular connector systems. It is used to terminate 16 AWG (1.5 mm2) conductors into compatible ILME CD series inserts for industrial power and control connections.

Use for

Use for machinery wiring, control panels, equipment interconnections, and other industrial connector assemblies where a removable crimp contact is required. It is suited to applications needing a 10A contact in a compact heavy-duty connector platform.

Avoid for

Avoid using this contact with incompatible housings, inserts, or wire sizes outside the stated 16 AWG (1.5 mm2) range. Do not treat it as a universal terminal; it is intended for specific ILME-compatible connector systems and proper crimp tooling.

Best for

Best for electricians, panel builders, and OEM maintenance teams assembling or servicing ILME heavy-duty multipole connectors in commercial and industrial environments.

Installed in

Typically installed in heavy-duty connector inserts used in control cabinets, production equipment, packaging lines, and plant wiring systems. The contact is crimped onto the conductor, then inserted into the matching connector insert cavity.

Why this product exists

This contact provides a serviceable crimp termination for connectorized wiring, helping speed assembly and replacement compared with hard-wired terminations. Silver-plated contact surfaces are commonly selected where low contact resistance and dependable conductivity are required.

Compared with similar products

Compared with larger crimp contacts, this 10A contact fits lighter control and auxiliary circuits rather than higher-current power circuits. Compared with gold-plated variants, this version is silver-plated and intended for the matching ILME contact family and insert system.
