3M 3S6 Series Mini Stack Boardmount IDC Headers

3M 3S6 Series Mini Stack Boardmount Insulation-Piercing Contact (IDC) Headers provide a reliable connection with a simple, time-saving termination process while reducing the required board footprint. The compact form factor allows for 30% more board space than the 3M Mini-Clamp Connectors. 3S6 series mini stack boardmount IDC headers mates with four stacked wire mount connectors in a single action. These connectors are compatible with wire gauges from 30AWG to 22AWG and offer operating temperatures ranging from -20°C to +85°C. Common applications include data centers and telecommunications.
