Up to IP68 and over 5,000 cycles, and an interface diameter of 6.4mm.

Series L, K, and B – pin and groove coding, with 20 – 40 contacts

Series F- half-shell, up to 27 pins

  • ODU MEDI-SNAP: Space‐saving design, high contact density, and right-angled options, the plastic-bodied ODU MEDI‐SNAP ensures top performance. Push‐pull or break‐away with mechanical and optical coding. High‐voltage up to 1,000VAC, touch protection IEC 60601–1 (2 MOPP / 2 MOOP), fully sterilizable, minimal installation and maintenance.
  • ODU-MAC Rectangular High Current: High-Current Modules have now been added with reliable 12mm contacts and conductor cross-sections of 25mm², 35mm² or 50mm² available.
  • Rectangular Push-Lock Medical – an ODU-MAC Blue-Line connector tailored to medical use - compact, easy handling with maximum flexibility, incorporating an intuitive push-pull locking mechanism ensuring a fast, secure and error-free connection.

The modularity of the system allows individual adaptation to the specific requirements of the application, including the transmission of signal, data and power.

  • ODU-MAC Mass Interconnect range adds a half-rack Compact Class: The existing variants of the ODU-MAC Black-Line offer up to 4,608 signal points, making them real heavyweights in test and measurement. However, not every customer needs this, hence the new Compact Class – half the width of a classic 19" test cabinet and offering up to 1,536 signal points.
