A new 60-page catalogue covering the ODU-MAC connector system is available from ODU.
Suitable for many interconnection and interface applications, including electronics, test equipment, robotics, machine tools, and general industrial equipment, the ODU-MAC makes high density with low space requirements possible because up to 100 contacts can be placed in an insulator length of 25mm.
Developed with heavy-duty applications in mind where up to 100,000 mating cycles can be expected, the concept is based around a variety of customisable frames, insulation bodies with numerous insert patterns, and removable contacts.
Each assembly can include any combination of the various ODU contacts, including non-magnetic types that are well suited to medical equipment applications as well as those with high stability under vibration.
Modules can be arranged in different patterns in a frame according to the application.
Unit spacing is in 2.54mm multiples and guide pins ensure accurate mating.
A locking system has been developed for high security applications.
