Locking Mechanisms: The ODU AMC® Series T features a 3-on-1 locking system, including break-away rear panel mount, push-pull cable mount, and thread-lock in-line receptacle.
Circular Connectors with Cable Assembly: Suitable for transmitting power, signals, or data with special data transmission protocols. They provide protection against water, dirt, and dust and can be configured according to specific application requirements.
Complete System Solutions: ODU offers a comprehensive interconnect system solution, eliminating the need for intermediary suppliers. Key services include a single point of contact, high technical expertise, 100% final inspection, custom labeling, collaboration with cable manufacturers, and production according to UL and IPC standards.
Optical Characteristics: The connectors offer excellent optical performance with low insertion and return loss for both singlemode and multimode fibers.
Technical Specifications: Water resistance (IPX8 for 20m/120min and IPX9K), dust resistance (IP6KX), temperature cycling from -65°C to +175°C, and salt spray resistance for 96 hours. Electrical data includes insulation resistance greater than 5,000 MΩ at ambient temperature and greater than 1,000 MΩ at +175°C.
Mechanical Data: Specifications include coupling and uncoupling torque, mating cycles (500 cycles), and contact retention forces. The connectors are tested for random and sine vibration, as well as mechanical shock.
Material and Surface Treatments: Materials used include AlMgSiSn1Bi for housing and CuBe2 for EMI-locking rings, with various surface treatments like gold over nickel. All materials are RoHS compliant.
International Protection Classes: The document explains the IP rating system, detailing protection against solid objects and water ingress.
Safety Requirements: Rated for safety extra low voltage (SELV) under 50 V AC / 75 V DC. For higher operating voltages, specific safety precautions must be implemented.
AWG Conversions: A conversion table for American Wire Gauge (AWG) is provided, detailing diameter, cross-section, weight, and resistance for various wire sizes.

ODU AMC® SERIES T LOCKING MECHANISMS PUSH-PULL LOCKING The innovative push-pull ball-locking principle ensures reliable and precise mechanical mating and demating within a compact, radial design with small external dimensions. Connected position During the mating process, the balls are pressed into the locking groove on the receptacle by the wave spring. The connection can only be released by manually actuating (pulling back) the outer sleeve of the connector. Pulling on the cable has no affect on the locking mechanism. For demating in an emergency, the connector can be cleanly unplugged by simply...

PRODUCT INFORMATION ODU AMC® SERIES T LOCKING MECHANISMS BREAK-AWAY LOCKING The break-away function allows connectors to be mated and unmated quickly and reliably. During the mating process, a locking ring inside the receptacle engages corresponding grooves on the plug. Once established, the connection will be maintained as long as axial tension on the plug is less than the release limit of the connector system. The retention mechanism is strong enough to resist minor tension. Pulling lightly on the plug or cable assembly will have no impact on the connection. Connected position If the plug or...
