Reduce wiring time by 80%

3M™ Power Clamp Wiremount Socket’s IDC termination technology helps reduce wiring time by 80% compared to crimp-style connectors* while also helping to reduce waste produced from wire stripping.

  • Better connections all across the system

    The 3M™ Power Clamp Wiremount Socket, 355 Series offers a reliable termination solution for incorporating power connections into wire-to-wire and wire-to-board applications. You can create spliced connector networks that allow for unit modularity, keep installation costs low and help reduce waste. A combination power and signal application could include using 3M Power Clamp connectors to connect remote units and sensor networks, often with the addition of 3M Link Connectors, to a power supply using a daisy chain method.
