Now Available for 26 AWG Wire
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--3M’s popular IDC-style, 68-position MDR wire-mount plug connector is now available in a version configured to terminate to 26 AWG wire from the 3M Electronic Solutions Division. This expands the population of cables that can be terminated to 3M MDR IDC-style wire-mount plugs from current specified sizes of 28 AWG and 30 AWG and enables use in longer haul applications than current IDC versions.
The 3M wire-mount MDR IDC plug connector for 26 AWG wire mates with all 68-position 3M MDR receptacles and is compatible with existing 3M MDR IDC wire-mount back shells and hardware. The connector is suitable for use with a wide variety of cable options, including round, flat, twisted pair and twinax. The 3M MDR connector system uses a wiper-on-wiper interface for reliable, repetitive plugging.
