Space 3M 37306-2165-0M0 FL IDC connector with integrated cable retention and plug latch compatibility
Product Overview
The 3M Mini-Clamp Socket, 373 Series, is an IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) designed for wiring applications, particularly for systems supplied from Japan and Asia. It offers a 2 mm pitch and supports both wiremount and panel mount configurations. Key advantages include no special wire preparation, integrated cable retention, debris-free wire termination, and easy, quick, reliable IDC termination using standard pliers. The design accepts plug latches for secure interconnections in demanding applications and boasts a high number of mating cycles. Its compact design saves board and panel space, contributing to reduced maintenance work through higher connection reliability.
