ODU will exhibit at this year’s SDSC-UK at the NEC in Birmingham between February 3rd and 5th, displaying its current Advanced Military Connectors range that includes new products aimed specifically at rugged, embedded systems in the military and aerospace market.
Beyond 38999 with the ODU AMC Series T
One of the difficulties facing military sub-system suppliers is the need to fix up-front the exact locking system at each connection point on the system and install an appropriate bulkhead connector. Now that decision can be easier – ODU has introduced a new 3-in-1 plug for its AMC Series, which provides three locking options for a standard bulkhead. This means the locking decision to does not have to be made by the box OEM, but later, determined in conjunction with the ancillary kit suppliers.
This alternative to the standard MIL-DTL-38999 Series III connector excels with this novel 3-in-1 plug locking options of push-pull, snatch or screw-lock onto a common bulkhead. Qualified on the basis of the 38999 test standards, but with an even smaller footprint, the ODU AMC Series T meets all requirements for use in extreme environments and scores points with its lower weight and smaller form.
Bulkhead mountings are square flange or jam nut.
Solving the USB problem        Â
Military equipment is undergoing a huge transformation, with a proliferation of small COTS devices, often connected/charged via a standard USB-C socket.
So, what is now needed is an ‘umbilical’ link between base equipment and the various hand-held devices. ODU now offers just such a pragmatic solution:
ODU AMC High-Density to USB-C interface umbilical
- ODU AMC High-Density 12.8mm diameter connector at one end and a right-angled over-moulded USB-C plug at the other – crucial for mobile systems.
- Maximum flexibility and convenience thanks to cable lengths of up to 4 metres.
- Power transmission up to 5A and data rates up to 480 Mbit/s
- Robust design for -40° C to +85° C and 5,000 mating cycles
This umbilical offers the best possible solution – retaining the high integrity of the connection to base equipment while providing the most rugged connection to the small ancillary devices.
ODU Connectors will be Stand 54, ready to discuss how its connectors can simplify and improve your next embedded projects.
