Overview

The Mencom CTSEF-16R is a 16-pin female rectangular insert designed for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring reliable, high-current connectivity. Part of the ILME CTS series, this insert features a 16-amp rating with a standard spring terminal ground, making it ideal for automation, control panels, and machinery wiring. The insert is constructed with a nickel-plated zinc diecast shell for durability and a PBT insulator rated for temperatures from -40°C to +105°C (-40°F to +221°F). Copper alloy contacts with silver plating ensure low resistance and long-term performance, while the NBR gasket provides IP67-rated protection against dust and moisture ingress. Key specifications include a 600V maximum voltage rating (cable-dependent) and compatibility with 16-18 AWG wire. The CTSEF-16R is designed for panel mounting with a 1.000"-20UNEF thread, offering a secure and vibration-resistant connection. Its compact size (77.27mm) and thermoplastic housing make it suitable for space-constrained installations, such as DIN rail systems. The insert is engineered for quick disconnect applications, allowing for efficient maintenance and reconfiguration without disrupting entire systems. This insert is part of Mencom's MIL-SPEC series, ensuring compliance with stringent industrial standards. It is distributed by Gross Automation and is manufactured in the US. The CTSEF-16R is optimized for use in harsh environments, including those with extreme temperatures, high vibration, or exposure to contaminants. Its design eliminates the need for additional terminal blocks, freeing up valuable DIN rail space and simplifying wiring configurations. Whether used in factory automation, robotics, or test equipment, the CTSEF-16R delivers consistent performance and reliability.
