3M Strain Relief Clip for use with 3000 Series

For use with class II sockets, stock nos. 121-0810 and 120-6798

This clip fits easily onto Class II sockets from 3M's 3000 series to provide strain relief and boost the durability of your cable assemblies. It'll take the strain off the ribbon cable, meaning the connection isn't subjected to any mechanical stress. 3M's 3000 series IDC connectors offer a quick and easy way to connect ribbon cable, using a blade to pierce the insulation material and make the contact via cold welding. This means there's no requirement to strip wires as with traditional crimping.

IDC connectors have been used for many years in telecommunications, networking and signal connections. Increasingly, they're also found in low-power industrial applications.

The major benefit IDC connections offer over traditional methds is their speed and ease of installation, as there's no need to strip or prepare the conductors beforehand.
