Rated Voltage/Current 450V / 32A Supports heavy-duty industrial and lighting loads.
Wiring Range (Solid) 0.5 – 2.5 mm² (20-14 AWG) Universal compatibility for global standards.
Wiring Range (Stranded) 0.5 – 2.5 mm² (20-14 AWG) Secure clamping for flexible high-vibration wires.
Housing Material Flame-retardant PA66 Superior durability compared to standard PC.
Strip Length 11 mm / 0.43 inch Integrated strip-length guide on the housing.

2. Why Engineers Specify the CMK-415

A. Permanent Connection Reliability

Unlike traditional screw terminals that can loosen over time due to thermal expansion or vibration, the CMK-415 utilizes a Stainless Steel Spring Pressure Connection. This ensures a constant, maintenance-free clamping force throughout the product’s lifespan.

B. Total Design Flexibility

The lever-actuated design allows for unlimited re-use. Whether you are prototyping in a lab or making field adjustments in a junction box, you can open and close the connection without damaging the conductor or the connector.

C. Integrated Testing Ports

Safety is paramount. The CMK-415 features a built-in test slot on the top, allowing engineers to verify voltage with a standard test probe without disconnecting the wiring or removing electrical tape.

3.Application Use-Cases

  • Lighting & Luminaires: Perfect for connecting LED drivers, dimming circuits, and modular lighting systems in commercial projects.

  • Smart Home & IoT: Its compact footprint allows it to fit into tight wall boxes or control panels for smart sensors and actuators.

  • Industrial Control Cabinets: Simplifies complex wiring looms and reduces labor costs during mass production of electrical panels.

  • Junction Boxes (IP68): When paired with CMK’s waterproof enclosures, the CMK-415 provides the ultimate moisture-resistant connection for outdoor environments.

4. Installation Best Practices

  • Strip: Use the 11mm guide on the side of the connector to ensure the correct amount of insulation is removed.

  • Insert: Lift the orange lever, insert the conductor until it hits the back-stop.

  • Secure: Lower the lever flush with the housing. Visually inspect through the housing to ensure no bare wire is exposed.

6. Technical FAQ for Procurement & Engineering

Can I mix different wire sizes in one connector?

Yes. Each clamping unit operates independently, allowing you to connect a 0.5mm² wire to a 2.5mm² wire in the same block.

How does the CMK-415 compare to the WAGO 221 series?

While offering identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility, the CMK-415 provides a more competitive price point for large-scale OEM and construction projects.
