ILME MIXO series modular inserts

The MIXO series from ILME has been enhanced with a new insert, suitable for currents up to 100 A and with new CG series crimp contacts. This insert design claims to ensure a quicker fitting and removal of crimped contacts.

They offer several benefits over conventional screw contacts including: more resistant to mechanical stresses such as vibrations and cable loads; more corrosion resistant (gas tight); quicker to connect and ensuring more consistent results (regardless of the operator’s ‘force’); the connector is electrically more efficient (reduced voltage drop).

The plates provided firmly fasten the contact holder and, once the insert is mated to other inserts and is inserted in the MIXO frame, the connection is totally secure and resistant, even to the most severe stresses such as vibrations.

The contacts can be removed without having to use any special tools but by simply using a screwdriver. Each enclosure can house different types of connections, for example: electric signals and contacts for the conduction of compressed air and liquids with pressure values of up to 8 bars. The inserts are arranged side by side to form a single compact block which is inserted into metallic frames with mandatory housings. Once the modules have been inserted and locked with the special tabs, the connector can then be inserted into the enclosure. The modular structure system makes it easy to access a series of contacts inserted in the frame (eg, for substitution, checks or the addition of signals with new inserts for needs not foreseen during the initial installation) without having to disassemble the entire connector.
