Overview: The document provides detailed information about ODU AMC® connectors, specifically designed for harsh environments. These connectors are suitable for conditions involving sand, dust, extreme temperatures, humidity, corrosion, solar radiation, shock, vibration, and torque. They ensure reliable electrical communication under high mechanical stress.

Product Features:

ODU AMC® connectors are available in four versions: Push-Pull, Break-Away, Easy-Clean, and High-Density.
The Easy-Clean version offers various sizes and configurations, with plug outer diameters ranging from 11.9 mm to 15.9 mm and 4 to 19 contacts.
They meet international protection classes IP6K8 and IP6K9K.

Materials and Applicability:

The connectors use PEEK as the insulator material, with housings made of aluminum plated with ruthenium over nickel.
They operate within a temperature range of –51 °C to +125 °C, making them ideal for defense, security, and industrial electronics applications.

Complete System Solution:

ODU provides a complete system solution, including 100% outgoing inspection, clean room assembly, factory-automated processes, and various customization options like EMI shielded enclosure assembly and custom labeling.

Technical Specifications:

The connectors feature mechanical and optical color coding, with up to 19 contacts and a lifespan of 5,000 mating cycles.
They include spring-loaded contacts for solder and print termination.

Configuration Guidelines:

The document provides step-by-step instructions for configuring connectors using the ODU part number key, covering aspects like series, type/style, size, coding, housing material, and contact insert.

Locking Mechanism:

The Break-Away function allows for quick mating and unmating, with a safety feature that enables separation under axial tension.

Applications:

These connectors are suitable for use in defense, security, and industrial electronics, providing robust and versatile solutions for challenging environments.

Derating Factors and Curves: The document discusses the application of derating factors for connectors, particularly for multi-core cables as per VDE 0298-4:2013-06. A derating factor is applied when there are five or more live wires. The derating curve is a corrected current-carrying capacity curve that accounts for manufacturing tolerances and temperature measurement uncertainties.

Operating Voltage: The operating voltage is calculated based on the breakdown voltage, with 75% of the measured breakdown voltage used as a basis. The operating voltage is one-third of this value. Tests are conducted under standard conditions and applicable up to 2,000 meters altitude.

American Wire Gauge (AWG): The document explains the AWG system, noting that the cross-section changes by 26% from one gauge number to the next. It highlights the differences between solid and stranded wires, with stranded wires offering greater flexibility and longer service life.

Technical Terms: Several technical terms are defined, including ambient temperature, chemical resistance, clearance distance, and creepage distances. The document also covers connector types, such as fixed and free connectors, and various termination technologies like crimp and solder connections.

General Notes: The document emphasizes the importance of safety precautions to prevent contact with live conductors. It also notes that the information is subject to change without notice, reflecting the current state of knowledge.
