Product details
As an innovation leader in Terminals - Ring Connectors, 3M presents the 42-8 - a miniaturized terminal connector optimized for wearable electronics. This precision component combines ultra-low profile design with medical-grade reliability for IoT health monitoring devices.The Hook configuration features nano-scale contact geometry. Atomic force microscopy reveals 50% larger effective contact area compared to conventional micro-connectors.Precision-engineered for 8 Stud interfaces, this terminal enables 0.5mm pitch connections. The patented alignment system achieves 5 m mating accuracy without visual aids.The Free Hanging (In-Line) configuration enables magnetic-assisted alignment. The self-docking feature reduces connection time to <0.5 seconds for patients with limited dexterity.Utilizing Crimp technology, this connector creates cold-welded joints. The process produces no heat-affected zone, preserving sensitive biomedical sensors.Designed for 14-16 AWG ultra-fine wires, this terminal features optical alignment guides. The precision crimping system achieves <1% strand breakage even with 50 m conductors.The Non-Insulated system exceeds ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity requirements. The hypoallergenic material formulation prevents skin irritation during continuous wear.Incorporating Butted Seam, this connector enables simultaneous power and data transfer. The hybrid contact arrangement supports 100Mbps USB 2.0 signals alongside 2A power delivery.
