Ribbon cables are known for their space saving and high data transfer capabilities. They are often used to connect internal computer peripherals, and less frequently for external connections. They are known for being well suited to mass termination with IDC (insulation displacement connectors.) This quick and practical termination solution means that ribbon cabling is a common standard in electronics and computing.

3M are a reliable name in computing and electronic connection. Combined with RS Components excellent customer service, 3M provides a range of specialist connectivity solutions for a variety of industries and applications.

Looking for a quick and workable solution to terminate and establish connections between electronic components? This cable mount IDC (insulation displacement connector) socket from 3M pierces wire shrouds and uses cold-welding technology to instantly establish a connection between socket points and wires. The unit lets you make secure connections that reliably deliver data transmissions. You can use this IDC socket for internal connections in your home and in the workplace.

• Durable thermoplastic PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) insulation protects wires from chemical damage and corrosion• Preassembled for fast and practical terminations that saving on installation time • Double-recessed cover enables cable terminating from either side and eliminates the need for single-recessed cover connectors• Phosphor bronze contacts ensure excellent conductivity for optimal signal transmissions

• Telecommunications systems• Manual and semi-automatic assembly equipment• Automotive electronic systems

IDC sockets are designed primarily for use with ribbon cables. These wires are space-saving and have high data-transfer capabilities. Ribbon cables and IDC sockets are generally used together to connect internal computer peripherals and establish system function.
