Compact design IDC connector 3M 37303-3101-000 FL 100 providing quick and termination for wire mounting
Product Overview
The 3M Mini-Clamp Socket, 373 Series, is an IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) designed for wiring applications, supplied from Japan and Asia. It offers a quick, easy, and reliable termination process using standard pliers, eliminating the need for special wire preparation and producing debris-free connections. Key advantages include integrated cable retention, the ability to accept multiple wire size diameters, and compatibility with plug latches for robust interconnections in demanding applications. Its compact design saves board and panel space, and it provides a high number of mating cycles, contributing to reduced maintenance work through enhanced connection reliability. Available in wiremount and panel mount configurations, with or without latches, and in 3, 4, 6, or 8 positions.
