The 3M™ Mini-Stack is a simple termination connector for industrial, sensor, LED, switch, and various small device connections using proven 3M IDC technology. This connector can provide a timesaving, reliable and field-installable wiring solution, while reducing the required board footprint.
As manufacturing equipment becomes increasingly automated, more electronic components, such as sensors, need to be integrated onto the control boards. This is driving a need for higher density connector options.
3M Mini Stack provides the connection with a simple termination process that does not create material debris or waste. The application reduces wiring time by approx. 60% compared to crimping connectors.
