More precise material handling. Reduced downtime. Interconnect solutions for both.
In material handling, maintaining precise tolerances depends on reliable, high-performance equipment. Signals must remain clear, even in environments where vibration and high-flex motion are part of normal operation. 3M supports automated material handling with a comprehensive range of interconnect solutions, including CoaXpress® 2.0 and USB3 Vision® compliant industrial camera cable assemblies tested for millions of bend cycles and capable of clear functionality over long distances. Message a 3M expert and help maximize your precision and productivity today.

Solutions for high-flex motion
Today’s industrial automation can require flexing, torsion and twisting. 3M offers durable high-flex cabling solutions for machine vision including CoaXPress® compatible cable assemblies flex-cycle tested to 45 million cycles, and USB3 Vision® compatible cable assemblies tested up to 100 million cycles. We also provide high-flex flat ribbon cables for I/O and data applications with options from 1- 100 million flex cycles.

Reduced equipment downtime
Any downtime means a loss in productivity, and quite possibly an opportunity for competitors to excel. 3M Interconnect Solutions feature Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC), a termination method for fast, reliable installation and maintenance in the field. This can:
- Save up to 80% wiring time compared to crimp-style connectors
- Allow for one-hand mating and un-mating for faster field maintenance
- Add signal/sensor network components in less time
3M invented IDC in 1961. Choose long-term expertise and a commitment to innovation for today’s manufacturers in critical industries.

Maximize board space
High-density board designs demand that more powerful components fit into the same PCB spaces. Connectors shouldn’t add to the challenge. With options like 3M™ 450 Series and 3M™ Mini-Clamp, we offer robust plugs, sockets and headers at half the pitch of industry-standard connectors. Our stackable 3M™ Mini Stack headers and sockets can save up to 30% of board footprint.
