ILME CDF40 (CDF‑40) — 40‑Pin + PE Female Crimp Insert (CD Series)

Product Overview

The ILME CDF40 (also referenced as CDF‑40) is a heavy‑duty Female insert (plug module) in the ILME CD series of crimp terminal inserts. It supports 40 signal contacts plus a protective earth (PE) and is designed to mount in 77.27 mm (sometimes called “77 × 27 mm”) C‑Type connector housings.
It features crimp‑style connection, robust thermoplastic housing, and is ideal for modular, rugged industrial connector assemblies.

This insert is typically used in cable‑to‑panel or cable‑to‑cable multipole connections within industrial automation, machinery, control systems, and harsh environments.

Key Features & Specifications

Benefits & Use Cases

• High Contact Density — With 40 signal contacts plus earth, it supports complex multi‑signal interfaces in one module.
• Modular & Flexible System — Works within ILME’s modular connector family, so you can combine it with matching hoods / bases to build a complete, sealed connector assembly.
• Robust Industrial Performance — Designed for industrial environments, with high temperature range, strong materials, and crimp reliability.
• Reliable Electrical Performance — Low contact resistance, high insulation resistance, and rated for multiple mating cycles.
• Scalability — Useful for control systems, automation, robots, sensors, power & signal multiplexing in one connector.

Ordering & Compatibility Notes

• Insert Only — This product is the insert module only. It does not include the outer housing / hood / base or contact crimp pins.
• To create a fully sealed connector, pair with a matching housing (hood / base) of size 77.27 mm and the correct gasket / sealing accessory.
• Use the correct crimp contacts (often ILME’s CDMA / CDMD series) compatible with your wire gauge (e.g. AWG 14 to 26) and tool.
• Confirm mating levers, alignment pegs, pin order orientation to match your connector design.
• Ensure proper torque on mounting / PE connection screws as specified in the datasheet.
• When ordering, specify the exact part number CDF‑40 (or “CDF40”) to avoid confusion with other pin counts.
