3M IDC Connector Socket for Cable Mount, 4 Way, 2mm Pitch - 373 Series - 37304-B101-00E MB

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

Applications

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

What's the difference between IDC and crimp termination?

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.
