wiring solution featuring 3M 37303-3163-000 FL 100 IDC mini clamp socket with 2 mm pitch technology
Product Overview
The 3M Mini-Clamp Socket, 373 Series, is designed for reliable wiring applications, particularly for systems supplied from Japan and Asia. Featuring 2 mm IDC technology, these sockets offer easy, quick, and debris-free wire termination using standard pliers. They are available in wiremount and panel mount configurations, with latches for secure panel mount applications. The design accommodates multiple wire size diameters and accepts plug latches for robust interconnections in demanding environments, contributing to a high number of mating cycles. Its compact design saves valuable board and panel space, while enhanced connection reliability helps reduce maintenance work.
