A novel adaptation of the pin/socket style contact is the 3M™ Mini Clamp II connector. Designed for 20-26 AWG discrete wire, this compact 2.00mm connector is ideally suited to factory automation applications and cabling between equipment. The connector can be mounted at the I/O slot and is quickly released using its integral finger latches. Assembling the connector requires only a pair of pliers and the simple process saves time and materials over conventional crimp connectors.
