IDC Mini Clamp Socket Connector 3M 37308-2206-0W0 FL with Integrated Cable Retention and Compact Design
Product Overview
The 3M Mini-Clamp Socket, 373 Series, is an IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) designed for wiring applications, specifically for circuits supplied from Japan and Asia. It offers a quick, easy, and reliable termination process using standard pliers, eliminating the need for special wire preparation. Key advantages include debris-free wire termination, integrated cable retention, and the ability to accept multiple wire size diameters. The design also accommodates plug latches for secure interconnections in demanding applications and boasts a high number of mating cycles. Its compact design saves board and panel space, while its high connection reliability helps reduce maintenance work. Available in wiremount and panel mount configurations, with or without latches, and in 3 or 4 positions, as well as 6 or 8 positions.
