ODU MAC connector system

Click2Contact

The ODU MAC connector system consists of a variety of customisable rugged frames, plastic insulation bodies (modules) with many of insert patterns, and crimpable, removable contacts for high currents (power), low currents (signal), and RF-signals.

Modules can be arranged in different patterns in the frame according to application. Unit spacing is 2.54 mm (.100") or a multiple thereof. Guide pins and guide bushings prevent misconnections and provide easy alignment for accurate mating.

The ODU MAC in Alu Frame has two end pieces and two rails with guiding and mounting hardware. The socket part (receptacle) is generally fixed while the pin part (plug) is typically mounted floating. This frame can accept between 3 to 60 units with a width of 2.54 mm each. For example, if 10 position modules are used, a connector with max. 600 contacts can be assembled. Special versions for reduced layout (Alu-M) and bigger radial offset (Alu-L) are available.

The ODU MAC in DIN housing with locking latch is available in four sizes. Size I accepts 10 modules (2.54 mm ea) while Size IV accommodates up to 34 models (2.54 mm ea). Size IV can have max 340 contacts.

The ODU MAC in DIN housing with quick connect-disconnect locking spindle was developed to make the standard DIN housing with locking latch more user friendly. As an option, the DIN housings are offered with a precision locking spindle. The locking spindle provides very smooth locking and unlocking of the connector with a single twist. The locking spindle system is especially designed for high number of connects and disconnects. The precision of the spindle allows more than 20,000 mating cycles.
