The 3M™ Mini Clamp:
The 3M™ Mini Clamp is a simple termination connector based on industry standards for industrial, sensor, LED, switch and various small device connections. Featuring Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC) technology, this connector can provide a timesaving, reliable and field-installable wiring solution.
Key features and benefits:
Easy termination, easy handling –no special tooling required.
Wire-saving: No need to strip wire insulation
Labor-saving: Only need a standard pair of pliers
Time-saving: Reduces wiring time by approx. 80% compared to crimping connectors*
3M™ Mini Stack™ Connector Series:
3M™ Mini Stack™ Connector Series allows for faster wiring time and reduced board footprint. The series includes 3M™ Mini Stack Connector Wiremount Socket 3S5 Series, 3M™ Mini Stack Connector Boardmount Header 3S6 Series and the 3M™ Mini Stack Connector Hand Tool.
It features insulation displacement contact (IDC) termination which dramatically reduces the wiring time required for traditional crimping methods, where wires must be individually stripped, inserted into contacts, crimped and inserted into housings. Instead, installers simply place 2 to 4 wires and sockets into the 3M Mini Stack hand tool and terminate them simultaneously with a simple squeeze. Terminated wires then insert all the way into the housing in one motion.
