Industrial interconnect from 3M
Cable for some of the toughest electronic challenges
Reliability, connection after connection
More than ever, you depend on the integrity of interconnect equipment in your work. That includes cables, wires, sockets, headers, pins and plugs – basic yet critical solutions for emerging challenges in connectivity, package density, performance requirements and others. As one of the inventors of many of today’s standards such as electrical tape and IDC termination, 3M continues to develop a tremendous range of copper wire and cable, connectors and industrial cable assemblies. All of our solutions are built for the latest high-speed systems according to some of the most current material science. And as you’ll discover, there’s much more to their integrity than just the materials.
Solutions that perform, from the lab to the field
3M has designed each or our industrial cables and PCB connectors with the materials you need for top electrical performance in your wire-to-board systems. We’ve also designed them to help you conduct business – working faster and smarter, for maximized ordering, assembly and installation.
-
Faster connectionsMost 3M copper wire cables can be mass terminated using Insulation Displacement Connection (IDC) – a technology invented and continually perfected by 3M.
-
Efficient ordering and assemblyOrdering 3M cables together with any of a broad range of 3M sockets and headers can help streamline the cable sourcing process, helping you reduce labor and simplifying your logistics.
-
Rapid sampling and testingTo help you meet your demanding test schedules, 3M can supply fast samples for much of our cable portfolio offering. We can also help you choose the sample for your specific needs.
A wide range of cables for a wide range of applications
-
Produced entirely in North America, our selection of 3M industrial cables can help you meet your specific requirements, no matter how established or how new. Choose 3M cabling in flat ribbon, round jacketed, high flex, solid or stranded, color coded, metal foil shielded, halogen-free and more. Features include tinned copper conductors along with a range of primary and jacketed insulation materials and expanded or pleated metal shielding for cross talk and EMI protection.
Save time. Streamline production. Pair 3M cables with 3M connectors.
-
It just makes sense – choosing your cables and connectors together can help you save time and money on sourcing, assembly and logistics. 3M copper cables can be paired with a broad range of boardmount and wiremount connectors in industry-standard formats like D ribbon, D-sub and MDR. In addition, select cables can be supplied as complete molded assemblies.
