3M 4-Way IDC Connector Female for Cable, 1 Row

With its compact design, this insulation displacement connection (IDC) socket from 3M gives you more space in circuit design frameworks. It has a pitch of 2mm to accommodate a wire size range from 20 to 26 AWG (American Wire Gauge). IDC connectors like this one are an integral component in modern serial fieldbus systems. Its glass-reinforced thermoplastic body means you're protected from electrical shocks as well as material impact. This type of unit is used in a variety of small device applications, including light-emitting diode (LED) lamps and sensors.

• Integrated retention system keeps wires secure during termination• Current rating of 3A makes it suitable for most wire sizes• Copper contact material for a secure connection• Easy installation with pliers saves time • Gold-over-nickel contact plating provides corrosion resistance and a longer lifespan

• Food production• Lift systems• Base press-control electronics

IDC termination is done through the process of cold-welding, while crimping involves manually stripping the cable before attaching it to the connectors. Because cold-welding doesn't need heat or specialist tools, it makes the termination process much simpler and faster.

From 3M, the 371 series Mini-Clamp II 2mm cable mount IDC socket connectors designed to provide easy, quick and reliable IDC wire terminations without the need for any special wire preparation or tooling. These 2mm Mini-Clamp II wiremount IDC connectors have a compact, space saving design and feature integrated cable retention and latches for a secure connection.
