Product catalog summary
Company Overview
INDUSTRIA LOMBARDA MATERIALE ELETTRICO SpA (ILME) has been a significant player in the electrotechnical sector since 1938, focusing on industrial installations. Known for innovation, customer service, and eco-friendly practices, ILME operates globally, especially in automation-leading countries like Germany and Japan.
CE Marking and Compliance
ILME products comply with the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC and its modifications, ensuring safety and quality. The CE marking indicates adherence to EU directives and international standards. ILME maintains high safety standards, exceeding basic requirements, and holds ISO 9001:2008 certification.
SQUICH® Connections
The SQUICH® series offers tool-free connections with spring clamp connectors, reducing wiring times and allowing easy terminal identification. Compatible with wires up to 2.5 mm², these connectors are designed for high performance and reliability, featuring actuator buttons for easy operation.
Product Specifications
SQUICH® connectors come in various sizes, compatible with multiple ILME series, supporting a wide range of conductors. Certified by UL, CSA, CCC, and GOST, they are made from self-extinguishing thermoplastic resin and have a mechanical life of over 500 cycles.
Technical Details
Operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, the connectors offer protection up to IP69K. Suitable for both rigid and flexible wires, they have a conductor cross-section of 0.14 to 2.5 mm², designed for easy maintenance and reliable performance in diverse environments.
Specifications
The document details specifications for ILME connectors, including inserts for sections ranging from 0.14 to 2.5 mm² (AWG 26 - 14). Certified under UL, CSA, CCC, and GOST standards, they have a rated voltage of 600V according to UL/CSA, insulation resistance of ≥ 10 GΩ, and an ambient temperature limit of -40 °C to +125 °C. Made of self-extinguishing thermoplastic resin (UL 94 V0), they have a mechanical life of ≥ 500 cycles with a contact resistance of ≤ 3 mΩ.
Procedures
Installation procedures stress correct installation for safety and functionality. Connectors should not be connected or disconnected when live or under load. Proper wiring and coupling are crucial, with specific tools recommended for spring-clamp connections. The document advises against forcing contacts during connection and disconnection and emphasizes the need for axial coupling and uncoupling.
Standards and Certifications
The connectors comply with the EU Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC and the EN 61984 standard. Certified by UL, CSA, CCC, and GOST, they adhere to international safety and performance standards.
Recommendations
To maintain the declared degree of protection (IP code), enclosures must be completed with cable glands or accessories with at least an equal protection rating. The document advises using coding pins to avoid mismatched couplings when installing multiple identical connectors side by side.
Limitations
ILME cannot guarantee compatibility with products from other manufacturers due to potential technical changes. The document notes that ILME is not responsible for incorrect connector selection concerning environmental conditions or for individual components used outside the described applications.
Sales and Contact Information
Contact details are provided for ILME's subsidiaries in France, Germany, the UK, Sweden, Japan, and China, as well as the head office in Italy.

New shaped button for measuring instruments The profile of the button used in the new version of the “SQUICH®” series inserts has been modified to allow a measuring probe to be inserted. This allows checks to be carried out to ensure that the wiring is correct. Simple terminal reopening To reopen the terminals, simply introduce the tip of a common 0,5 x 3,5 mm flat blade screwdriver in the shaped pocket on the head of the actuator, and slightly rotate the screwdriver downwards: this will lift the actuator into its open terminal position.
