3M Mini-Clamp Common Sockets accept up to two 3M Mini-Clamp Plugs, enabling space and wire savings. The product makes use of 3M's Insulation Displacement Technology (IDC) technology to allow for a simple, labor-saving, field-terminable installation process using a standard pair of pliers. The mini-clamp sockets feature semi-transparent and color-coded covers to provide for the proper wire usage and quick installation inspection. Typical applications include factory automation and industrial controls, medical, elevator controls, and conveyor systems.
