M3 and M3E gage connectors are cross-compatible — use this guide to confirm the correct pairing for your transmitter generation.
The Mini Mobile Module EVO (M3E) and the legacy Mini Mobile Module M3 both support TriggerSync — a measurement mode where readings are triggered from the MobileCollect Base Receiver or directly from your SPC application, without a manual button press at the gage. TriggerSync is currently under development and scheduled for release in Q3 2026.
M3E transmitters additionally support GageSync — two-way communication between the transmitter and gage that allows the M3E transmitter to query the gage directly for metadata such as serial number, calibration date, and other gage-level attributes. GageSync requires the two additional pins found on the 8-pin (2×4) M3E gage connector and is not available on the 6-pin (2×3) M3 connector. GageSync is currently under development and scheduled for release in Q3 2026.
The Mini Mobile Module EVO M3E and Mini Mobile Module M3 (retired) are paired to one-way communication gages via M3 Gage Connectors. The PN Structure includes an “M3”.

Both M3E and M3 connectors are compatible with both transmitter generations. MicroRidge designed the EVO two-way communication connectors (M3E) to be backwards compatible with the legacy Mini Mobile Module, and the one-way communication connectors (M3) can be used with Mini Mobile Module EVO series transmitters.
