Durable 3M 37306-2124-0W0 FL IDC socket with glass reinforced thermoplastic and copper alloy contacts
Product Overview
The 3M Mini-Clamp Socket, 373 Series, is an IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) designed for wiring applications, specifically for systems supplied from Japan and Asia with a 2 mm pitch. These wiremount and panel mount sockets offer a quick, easy, and reliable termination process using standard pliers, eliminating the need for special wire preparation and ensuring debris-free connections. Key advantages include integrated cable retention, accommodation for multiple wire size diameters, and a high number of mating cycles. The compact design saves board and panel space, while plug latches provide reliable interconnection in demanding applications, reducing maintenance work through enhanced connection reliability. Available in 3 or 4 positions, with or without latches for panel mount applications, and in 6 or 8 positions.
