Fast, tool-less connectivity is shaping the future of modern electrical systems, transforming how we power and manage them. Simplifying the assembly and mounting of connectors is crucial in boosting efficiency and flexibility in industrial and small-scale settings.

At the heart of ILME’s research and development is the drive for easy installation and secure wiring, powered by our pioneering SQUICH^® technology. This innovative solution allows for tool-less connection at the push of a button while guaranteeing resistance to extreme temperatures, shocks, and vibrations.

The SQUICH^® Series has been further enhanced with the addition of the latest variant for Type J Thermocouples.

In the world of industrial automation, pneumatic connections are essential for the efficient transmission of clean compressed air. To ensure optimal performance, these systems demand components that combine mechanical resistance with compact design, maximizing longevity and reliability..

To meet the growing need for versatility and efficiency, our MIXO Series of pneumatic connectors has been engineered for applications requiring consistent airflow and pressure stability.

FEATURES

THE MODULES
The range includes single- or double-slot modules in thermoplastic material designed to host metal contacts, providing reliable performance under continuous operating pressures of up to 10 bar, and can function across a temperature range from -40°C to +80°C:

THE CONTACTS
Our pneumatic contacts are available in both metal and plastic versions, offering flexibility for diverse applications:

• Straight and angled configurations (only metal contacts) for various cable outlet needs.
• Hose barb contacts and quick-fitting push-in tube attachments for both inner (ID) and outer (OD)diameters.
• Plastic contacts with hose barbs for inner diameter (ID).
• Coding and guiding pins for correct alignment of pneumatic contact modules (CRM CX / CRF CX).
• Metal contacts are easily removable using the CMPES B removal tool.

THE ENCLOSURES

V-type enclosures are the ideal solution for coupling pneumatic modules. The proprietary lever mechanism ensures easy handling during the closing and opening operations, even with high closing forces, while the rigidity of the lever ensures secure and correctly aligned engagement of the pneumatic contacts.

ADVANTAGES

• Wide Compatibility: Ideal for a broad range of industrial environments.
• Durability: Robust metal contacts ensure long-term reliability even in the harshest conditions.
• Long Lifespan: Achieve up to 500 or 10,000 mating cycles when used with traditional or High Number of Matings (HNM) MIXO frames/enclosures.

The ILME MIXO modular system stands out for its flexibility during both installation and maintenance, offering customizable configurations to meet the specific demands of each application. With the introduction of the MIXO CX 01 PEF/M, additional PE connection solutions are now available, further expanding the range and capabilities of the system.

These brand-new PE modules are designed to be specifically installed into CX .. PDF/PDM thermoplastic docking frames mainly meant for blind mating connector technology, this combination streamlines the installation process. The result is faster, safer setups, reduced maintenance time and improved overall system reliability.

At ILME we consider the testing area not simply as a place to host and test prototypes, but as a key resource for the company’s growth. A small but essential hub where technical and normative knowledge is merged to allow all phases of a product study to be followed, from design to use.

Testing means facing problems, with the aim of delivering on the market only technologies that respect precise functionalities and protection criterias according to the application. The analysis of material characteristics, their strengths and weaknesses, followed by the certification process, are challenging moments, but also an opportunity to pave the way for innovation.

In our testing area, time is a measurement tool, a value to manage with care to drive toward new frontiers, while reliability and safety underlies the activities taking place inside, during which our connectors and hoods/housings  are subjected to:

As speed defines modern industry, accelerating product commercialization skipping key steps may seem advantageous in the short term, although this can compromise the quality of the final result.

Each phase in the testing  process is an essential contribution to R&D to obtain a high-standard product that, once installed in the target environment or machinery, will then be put with high confidence level to the real world’s test.

Energy Storage System (ESS) plays a key role in the era of Industry 4.0 and digital transformation, where the demand for optimizing production processes and for a sustainable approach continues to grow.

Connections dedicated to battery systems must be designed to handle high load capacities and enable integration with the existing electrical grids, while achieving operational effectiveness and reliability.

Modular connectors are among the key choices for ESS for many reasons such as scalability, flexibility and simplified maintenance. To answer these needs, MIXO range by ILME now counts new solutions for such applications which join the already available 200 A modules, following the innovation goals of modernity.

The performance of large equipment relies on the quality of their small components, that reduce unplanned plants downtime and ensure optimum performance.

Global industry trend toward costs optimization, lightweight components and CO₂ reduction requires specific solutions to meet the changing needs of the market.

ILME rises to the challenge by updating the solutions in its portfolio, to make them increasingly suitable for current needs. T-TYPE and JEI^®-P enclosures series have been renewed with a new design for the closing levers, to guarantee increasingly optimal performance in different installation conditions, from standard to aggressive.

Versatility, possibility of creating custom solutions and ease of use, these are the key points of the brand-new ILME insulating MIXO holder for single-slot modules (part number CX 01 TPF/M). The holder can be directly installed inside electrical distribution and control panels without either the employment of the traditional metallic enclosures.

By using this solution, single-sized MIXO modules can form:

– free locked connector coupling: the CX 01 TPF holder can be fixed to a DIN EN 60715 rail by the special CX APE adapter (on either sides);

– flat-fixed locked connector coupling: the assembly is fixed by 4 screws to the back-plane of a panel.

The flexibility and versatility that characterize our MIXO modular system extend to the enclosures to rely on robust protective solutions in industrial applications. Born as a complement of the MIXO ONE Series for one single-sized modules, the MIXO TWO enclosures are designed to host two 1-slot sized modules and widen the possible configurations of independent compact connectors.

Five new angled metal housings are now available for installation on vertical panels:

• CXA 02 IA: angled bulkhead mounting metal housing, with open bottom flange and no cable entry;
• MXA 02 AP25 and MXA 02 AP32: angled surface mounting metal housings, with closed bottom flange and M25 /M32 cable entry;
• MXA 02 IAP25 and MXA 02 IAP32: angled bulkhead mounting metal housings, with open bottom flange and M25 /M32 cable entry.
