3M™ Mini-Clamp, Link and

Power Clamp Connectors

Time-saving, reliable and field-installable
wiring solutions
 3M™ Mini-Clamp Connectors
Mini-Clamp is a "de facto" industry standard for sensor, LED, switch and various small device connections for
industrial equipment and manufacturing facility applications. Mini-Clamp Connectors with IDC technology do
not require peeling of the cable jacket or special tools. They can be used with AWG20-28 wires and 2 mm pitch
contact, enabling space savings and higher wiring density.

Simple termination process for fast,

reliable installation and maintenance

•H  elps minimize risk of conductor damage

with no wire stripping.
• Stable termination quality with IDC increases
reliability of sensor wiring.
• Supports wires 28 to 20AWG. Insert wires with insulation Squeeze with pliers
