In summary, 3M’s connectors differ in terms of design, capabilities, and intended use. The D Sub continues to be a good solution for low speed I/O applications using 0.050" pitch cable while the Mini Clamp II offers a quick and easy way to terminate an I/O solution for discrete wires. The MDR connector is available with the widest choice of options for wire termination, board processing and attachment. The SDR family is a fine pitch version of MDR that is designed specifically to support a miniaturized version of the Camera Link® interface. The SCR series is a robust I/O system, designed for Industrial Control, but is suitable in applications where robustness and secure attachment are required. Lastly, miniSAS is the ideal I/O connector for high speed serial communications between networking equipment.
