Plastic connectors snap to save cost and weight
ODU's Mini-Snap plastic bodied push-pull connector has been developed for reliability, cost-effective assembly, quick and easy cable termination and short supply schedules.
Plastic body makes lighter and cheaper push-pulls
ODU's plastic-bodied Mini-Snap PC connector is an addition to the company's metal-bodied range of push-pull connectors.
The component is vacuum tight, has very good chemical resistance, offers compressive resistance up to 1000bar and will withstand temperatures as high as 400C and as low as -250C.
The Mini-Snap is a cylindrical, push-pull, positive locking connector and the range includes metal and plastic versions, which are compatible with similar components from other manufacturers.
The product has been developed mostly for power and signal supply and one of its main features is precise and reliable latching, even in hard-to-reach places.
The metal-bodied connector, suitable for wide-ranging industrial applications, is fully interchangeable with the PC plastic-bodied version that provides extra shielding and touch protection.
The Medi-Snap plastic unit can be used on a wide range of medical instrumentation and monitoring systems.
It is offered in several colours for coding purposes and can also be autoclaved.
Disposable versions are also available for single-use medical components.
In addition this lower cost variant can also have a metal shell and is available to take fluid tubing up to 6.5mm diameter with up to 2bar pressure.
Several options are offered across the range and, depending on the specific component, can include IP68 level protection instead of the usual standard IP67.
Customer specific designs are also offered as part of the ODU design and development package.
