I had a manager once that made me understand why factories are sometimes called “plants”: he branched off so many wires that the whole network looked like the lemon tree my neighbors have never pruned. With Industry 4.0, factories everywhere are going to have more branches, but at least the 3M One Piece Branch Link connector makes branching off the main network wire easy and reliable. They feature a single-action IDC termination, providing reliable connectivity without the need for special tools.

Using 3M’s connectors for T and H-branching, adding sensors and field network wires can be done with reduced wire usage and overall cost. The connectors are rated for up to 32 Volts and 3 Amps and can fit wires from 20 to 16 AWG. They can be used between negative 20 degrees Celsius and positive 85 degrees Celsius, depending on the current level. They’re also available in a splash-proof version which provides IPX4 protection for applications with exposure to condensation or splashing from wet operations.
