Small, light and rugged ODU
The new “Super Shorty” connector is up to 20% shorter than a standard connector and consequently also lighter. The “Super Shorty” is currently available in size 0 (with an outside diameter of 9.4 mm) and size 1 (with an outside diameter of 12 mm). Contact arrangements with up to 14 positions are available as standards. The connectors have a black and matt chrome surface that makes them ideal for military use.
The customer has two versions in two series to choose from: The version from Series B (coding with pin and groove) and a version from Series F (coding with half-shells).
There are also connectors with push-pull locking or in a break-away form.
The new connectors are completely plug compatible with the standard receptacles from the familiar ODU MINI-SNAP series, which means that there is no need to exchange receptacles that have already been installed. The new Super Shorty can easily be used when inserted.
The new connector’s standard protection is IP 68 with respect to the terminal device’s tightness. 360° EMC protection is also available upon request.
