Wiring Solution 3M 37304-2206-000 FL 100 Mini Clamp Socket with No Special Wire Preparation Required
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 quick, reliable, and debris-free termination process using standard pliers, eliminating the need for special wire preparation. Key advantages include integrated cable retention, acceptance of multiple wire size diameters, and a high number of mating cycles. The compact design saves board and panel space, while plug latches ensure reliable interconnection in demanding applications. This socket helps reduce maintenance work by providing higher connection reliability.
