Overview

Mencom Corporation’s CTSEM-16R is a 16-pin male rectangular insert from the CTSE series, engineered for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring reliable, high-current connections. Rated for 16 amps at 600V, this insert features a standard spring terminal design with right-side mounting for compatibility with ILME-compatible housings and hoods. The insert is constructed from self-extinguishing thermoplastic (PBT) with UL-rated operating temperatures from -40°C to +125°C, ensuring stability in extreme environments. The CTSEM-16R includes built-in terminal blocks on the rear for direct wire termination, eliminating the need for additional terminal blocks and optimizing DIN rail space. Wire termination supports 20–12 AWG (2.5 sqmm) via screw terminals, providing flexibility for a wide range of cable sizes. The insert’s nickel-plated zinc diecast shell and silver-plated copper alloy contacts deliver corrosion resistance and low contact resistance, critical for long-term reliability in automation, control systems, and machinery. Designed for quick disconnect applications, the CTSEM-16R pairs seamlessly with mating female inserts and hoods to create IP65-rated solutions for industrial automation, robotics, and process control. Its compact size (77.27mm) and modular design support integration into compact control panels and enclosures. Compliance with NEMA 4/4X/12 and UL standards ensures suitability for harsh industrial environments, including those with exposure to moisture, dust, and temperature extremes. Ideal for OEMs and system integrators, the CTSEM-16R reduces installation time and complexity by enabling direct wiring to the connector back, streamlining assembly and maintenance. The insert is part of Mencom’s globally recognized CTSE series, trusted by engineers for its durability, precision, and compliance with international safety standards.
