Looking for a compact connection solution for printed circuit boards (PCBs)? This yellow 3-way socket from 3M uses insulator displacement connection (IDC) technology to force back the cable jackets so the conductors are exposed. It provides a reliable alternative to crimped or soldered sockets and accepts both solid and stranded wires for use in a variety of applications. This plug has a thermoplastic body for safe insulation from electric shocks. It also has a 2mm pitch to ensure that the conductors don't touch each other, preventing short circuits.

• Copper contact material for a reliable connection• Gold-over-nickel contact plating for corrosion resistance• Operating temperature range of -20°C to +85°C for use in demanding conditions• Thermoplastic protective covering to shield cables from impact• Simple termination using pliers saves on installation time

• Solid-state lighting• Pressure sensors• Automotive industry, for example in automotive safety systems

This component has a UL (Underwriters Laboratory) 94V-0 rating. This means that in the event of a fire, combustion stops after 10 seconds or less. This makes it a flame-retardant component suitable for use in working environments where there may be a risk of fire.
