Highlights
  • Quick and reliable Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC) termination with no special tool required for assembly
  • No wire stripping – saves time, helps reduce risk of conductor damage, and reduces waste
  • Supports wire sizes 30-20 AWG
  • Terminates 3 or 4 wires simultaneously in a single action
  • Compact design with 2mm pitch helps save space
  • Transparent cover allows visual confirmation that wires are properly inserted before IDC termination
  • Improved wire-holding mechanics provide stability during IDC termination

The 3M™ Mini-Clamp III Plug 37A Series is a simple termination connector for a wide range of applications. It provides a quick and reliable IDC termination of three or four wires simultaneously with no special tool required. Compared to alternative crimp-style or terminal screw-type connection systems, the 3M Mini-Clamp III Plug 37A Series offers up to 80% reduction in installation time and helps prevent wire damage that might occur with alternative methods. It accommodates wire sizes from 30 through 20 American Wire Gauge (AWG) and eliminates the need to strip wire insulation, saving technicians time. The compact design saves space and helps reduce maintenance work with its higher connection reliability. The plugs are compatible with 3M Mini-Clamp III sockets and all previous generations of 3M Mini-Clamp wiremount or boardmount sockets.

Reduce wiring time by 80%

3M™ Mini-Clamp III Series’ IDC termination technology helps reduce wiring time by 80% compared to crimp-style connectors* while also helping to reduce waste produced from wire stripping. Use the 3M™ Mini Clamp Connector Hand Tool for bulk installations, or standard pliers for smaller installations.

  • Better connections all across the system

    The 3M™ Mini-Clamp III Plug 37A Series offers a reliable termination solution for a variety of applications including wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connections. You can keep installation costs low and help reduce waste when combining with other 3M IDC connectivity solutions such as 3M™ Link Connectors. Wire termination with 3M IDC technology is quick and reliable when compared with traditional crimp-style methods.
