3M SL8800 Series Twin Axial Ribbon Cable
The 3M SL8800 Series Twin Axial Ribbon Cable is a new family of high-performance cables offering ultra low-profile, high-speed, high signal density cable. Currently available in four-channel 100 ohm 30 AWG versions, the 3M SL8800 Series Cable is the optimum solution for space-constrained systems. This cable is unjacketed, extremely thin, very flexible, and can even be folded with minimal loss or performance impact. The 3M SL8800 Series Twin Axial Ribbon Cable
can route along the sides of cabinets and through narrow openings in
densely packaged equipment with little to no effect on performance. Even
if the design does not require low profile cable, the high electrical
performance of the SL8800 Series provides skew control, low
attenuation, and high bandwidth for high-speed signal requirements. These features are especially critical at speeds beyond 10 Gbps As high speed applications continue to require more performance, the 3M SL8800 Series Cable will deliver that performance for years to come.
3M 8F36 Series Mini Serial Attached SCSI (MiniSAS) Cable Assemblies
3M's 8F36 Series High Routability Internal Mini Serial Attached SCSI (MiniSAS) Cable Assemblies
are the ideal choice for space constrained systems due to their
exceptional foldability with minimal loss and performance impact. These
unjacketed, extremely thin, and very flexible assemblies utilize 3M's new ultra low-profile, high-speed, high-signal density 3M™ SL8800 Series Twin Axial Cable
that provides excellent transmission properties allowing signals to
travel a longer distance. In addition, the excellent performance of 3M's SL8800 Series Twin Axial Cable used in the construction of the 8F36 Series stretches
the user's loss budget, allowing him to use extra length to route the
cable through a more convenient location, out of the way of airflow, or
around difficult obstructions. Even if folded multiple times, 3M's unique High Routability Internal Mini Serial Attached SCSI (MiniSAS) Cable Assemblies meet SAS 2.1 performance requirements.
3M Connector for CFast™ Card, N7G24 Series
The
3M Connector for CFast
™
Card, N7G24 Series, interfaces to the all-new high performance serial CFast™ flash memory card. CFast™ is the latest standard issued by the Compact Flash® Association and incorporates Serial ATA (SATA) performance into the established CompactFlash® form factor. The boardmount header is available in a low profile configuration, or with optional 2 mm standoffs that allow the designer to populate the board underneath an inserted card. Integral grounding clips discharge electro-static charge before the card mates with the connector, thereby protecting its sensitive electronic circuits. Extended guide rails reduce the possibility of misalignment during card installation and prevent the card from 'flying' out during ejection. Optional dual-push ejectors are available for the 3M™ Connector for CFast™ Card, N7G24 Series, providing two points of force against the card for even and smooth card removal.
3m CC-Link Connectors & Cables
3M's CC-Link Connectors and Cables were designed to meet the requirements of the CC-Link standard and to enable T-Tab terminations as well as mid-cable terminations. The CC-Link Connectors'
hermaphroditic design reduces the number of components required to
interconnect and the well-approved IDC termination process enables easy
field termination and reduces labor cost relative to traditional
interconnect alternatives. In combination with Power Clamp or Mini-Clamp products, a wire reduction of up to 70% can be achieved. The 3M CC-Link Connectors and Cables are suitable for conductor sizes of 18 and 20 AWG of discrete wires or flat ribbon cables.
3M Power Clamp Connectors
The 3M Power Clamp Connectors are designed to provide connection reliability
and cost performance in I/O applications for a wide range of industrial
controls systems, networking systems, medical equipment, and factory
automation. The Power Clamp offering is suitable for CLPA's CC-Link open technology field level networking applications and protocols. Requiring only one hand, the One-Touch "just squeeze" wire termination uses standard pliers for easy field applications with no special wire preparation. The Power Clamp
series offers a voltage rating of 250 volts and a current rating up to
10 amps for one contact and up to 7 amps with multiple contacts. The 3M Power Clamp Connectors include wiremount sockets and wiremount and panel mount plugs.
3M Mini Serial Attached SCSI (miniSAS) Connectors
3M Mini Serial Attached SCSI (miniSAS) Connectors
are discrete and combo connectors that provide high density solutions
for high performance storage requirements. With high speed transmission
up to 6 Gbps, the miniSAS connectors provide twice the data rates than
previous generations. 3M Mini Serial Attached SCSI (miniSAS) Connectors use
the same connector design with metal shells or cages for internal and
external applications, but with different pin counts and in versions for
vertical and right angle internal boardmount, a right angle external
boardmount, and vertical and right angle internal combo versions.
3M Mini Delta Ribbon (MDR) Connectors
The 3M Mini Delta Ribbon (MDR) Connectors are a half pitch interconnect system designed to meet the needs of high speed/density I/O applications. The 3M MDR system is an established and well-proven solution that provides shielding against EMI/ESD and reliable connection through the pre-loaded ribbon contacts, as well as 0.050" centerlines. The 3M Mini Delta Ribbon (MDR) Connectors & Assemblies allow mass termination through IDC U-shaped contacts and offer a wide range of pin counts and form factors to enable design flexibility.
3M Mini Camera Link™ (SDR) Connectors
The 3M Mini Camera Link™ (SDR) Connectors and Cable Assemblies feature a high density .8mm pitch interface
and a low height profile of .5mm. Using the same reliable ribbon
contact system and polarized steel shell interface as the 3M Camera Link™ (MDR), the SDR connectors offer the same performance, but in a miniature size. The Shrunk Delta Ribbon (SDR) connector's innovative packaging design allows for drop-in replacement of existing MDR Camera Link® applications. The SDR connectors feature 30u" gold contact, polarized, metal EMI/ESD interface, jacksocket hardware, and RoHS compliance.
