Highlights
  • Quick and reliable Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC) termination with no special tool required for assembly
  • No wire stripping – saves time, helps reduce risk of conductor damage, and reduces waste
  • Supports wire sizes 26-20 AWG
  • Terminates 3 or 4 wires simultaneously in a single action
  • Available in a standard design for free hanging wire-to-wire connections or a panel mount design with latches
  • Compact design with 2mm pitch helps save space
  • Transparent cover allows visual confirmation that wires are properly inserted before IDC termination
  • Improved wire-holding mechanics provide stability during IDC termination

The 3M™ Mini-Clamp III Socket 37B Series is a simple termination connector for a wide range of applications. It provides a quick and reliable IDC termination of three or four wires simultaneously with no special tool required. Compared to alternative crimp-style or terminal screw-type connection systems, the 3M Mini-Clamp III Socket 37B Series offers up to 80% reduction in installation time and helps prevent wire damage that might occur with alternate methods. It accommodates wire sizes from 26 to 20 American Wire Gauge (AWG) and eliminates the need to strip wire insulation, saving technicians time. The compact design saves space and helps reduce maintenance work with its higher connection reliability. 3M Mini-Clamp III sockets are available in two designs: standard sockets for wire-to-wire connections and a panel mount socket with latches for connections through a panel wall. The sockets are also compatible with 3M™ Mini-Clamp III plugs and all previous generations of 3M Mini-Clamp wiremount plugs.

Reduce wiring time by 80%

3M™ Mini-Clamp III Series’ IDC termination technology helps reduce wiring time by 80% compared to crimp-style connectors* while also helping to reduce waste produced from wire stripping. Use the 3M™ Mini Clamp Connector Hand Tool for bulk installations, or standard pliers for smaller installations.

  • Better connection all across the system

    The 3M™ Mini-Clamp III Wiremount Socket, 37B Series offers a reliable termination solution for a variety of applications including panel mount connections. You can keep installation costs low and help reduce waste when combining with other 3M IDC connectivity solutions such as 3M™ Link Connectors. Wire termination with 3M IDC technology is quick and reliable when compared with traditional crimp-style methods.

  • 26-20 AWG Compatible

    3M™ Mini-Clamp III Wiremount Socket, 37B Series support wire sizes ranging from 26 AWG to 20 AWG.  This versatility across just two connector sizes (for the same number of positions) enables streamlined inventory. It’s also easy to mate the connectors: an audible click sound will verify a secure plug to a socket connection. The compact design of the connectors, with only a 2mm pitch, makes them ideal for systems where wire routing and board space is limited.
