3M
Product details
3M's 32-8-W represents the next generation of Terminals - Spade Connectors technology, developed for 5G infrastructure applications. This innovative connector delivers unmatched RF performance while maintaining mechanical reliability in temperature-cycled environments. Its precision engineering addresses the growing demands of high-speed data transmission systems.The Standard architecture in this connector enables rapid deployment in field installations. Unlike conventional designs, this configuration maintains contact integrity through 500+ mating cycles.Engineered with 8 Stud compatibility, this terminal supports both legacy and emerging equipment standards. The anti-rotation feature prevents loosening under dynamic loads.Precision-machined to 0.340" (8.64mm) tolerance, the connector ensures consistent impedance characteristics. This dimensional control is critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-frequency applications.The 0.700" (17.78mm) design incorporates advanced strain relief geometry that reduces conductor fatigue by 60%. This feature is particularly valuable in mobile equipment applications.Optimized for Free Hanging (In-Line) configurations, this terminal simplifies cable management in rack-mounted systems. The orientation-specific design prevents incorrect installations.Utilizing Crimp technology, this connector achieves cold weld-quality joints without thermal stress. The process is compatible with automated assembly systems for high-volume production.Designed to accommodate 14-16 AWG wiring, this terminal provides exceptional current-carrying capacity. The dual-spring contact design maintains pressure across thermal expansion cycles.The Non-Insulated system exceeds IPC-620 class 3 requirements for wire harness applications. Material selection focuses on halogen-free formulations for environmental compliance.With Brazed Seam implementation, this connector delivers superior EMI/RFI shielding performance. The innovative design achieves 40dB attenuation at 1GHz without additional components.
