wiring termination using 3M 37306-3122-0W0 FL IDC connector with debris free wire termination design
Product Overview
The 3M Mini-Clamp Socket, 373 Series, is an IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) designed for wiring applications, particularly for components 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 required, integrated cable retention, and debris-free wire termination. The design accepts multiple wire size diameters and plug latches for reliable interconnections in demanding applications, ensuring a high number of mating cycles. Its compact design saves board and panel space and helps reduce maintenance work by providing higher connection reliability.
