Easy termination, Easy handling

Enables board space savings & optimized networking

• As manufacturing equipment becomes increasingly automated, more electronic

components, such as sensors, need to be integrated onto the control boards. This

is driving a need for higher density connector options.

• The 3M™ Mini Stack Connector provides a reliable connection with a simple

termination process while reducing the required board footprint.
