3M™ Mini Stack Connector Interface Unit 3ST Series

3M™ Mini Stack Connector Interface Unit 3ST Series allows for efficient, space-saving interconnection between controllers and electronic devices. Miniature 3M Mini Stack interface unit 3ST series install either horizontally or vertically, without tools, on DIN rails. Both 16- and 32-channel 3M Mini Stack interface unit 3ST series accept 3M Mini Stack socket 3S5 series, either individually or stacked into blocks of up to four. 3M Mini Stack socket 3S5 series feature Insulation Displacement Connection (IDC) termination, which can help technicians save up to 60% on wiring time vs. crimp-style connections.

Space-saving interconnection from controller to component Part of the 3M™ Mini Stack Connector Series, the 3M Mini Stack Connector Interface Unit 3ST Series is used for connecting controllers with sensors and other electronic devices in applications such as automated manufacturing equipment. Its miniature, compact design requires less space on the DIN rail, and it can be installed either vertically or horizontally to accommodate specific needs for space and design. The interface unit is available in 1-row, 16-channel and 2-row, 32-channel configurations. 3M Mini Stack interface unit 3ST series is compatible with wire gauges from 30AWG to 22AWG. About the 3M™ Mini Stack Connector Series 3M Mini Stack connector series includes the 3M™ Mini Stack Connector Wiremount Socket 3S5 Series and 3M™ Mini Stack Connector Boardmount Header 3S6 Series. 3M Mini Stack socket 3S5 series feature a simple termination method that saves up to 60% wiring time vs. crimping for sensor wire and similar connections. A double Insulation Displacement Connection (IDC) termination process makes stable metal-to-metal contact in two places on each wire, and allows for termination of 2 to 4 wires simultaneously without the need for wire stripping. 3M Mini Stack headers 3S6 series including 3M Mini Stack Connector Junction Header 3S8 Series help reduce board footprint by 30% vs. the 3M Mini-Clamp Connector Series even in hard-to-reach or hard-to-see spaces. They are available in a range of header and fixture pin configurations. The 3M™ Mini Stack Connector Hand Tool enables double IDC for time-saving termination. 3M Mini Stack connector series also includes the 3M™ Mini Stack Interface Unit 3ST Series for efficient, space-saving interconnection between controllers and electronic devices.
