ODU adds P4+ frame to its ODU-MAC Silver-Line

ODU has announced a new addition to its ODU-MAC Silver-Line solution, the P4+ frame, which easily overcomes tolerance compensation challenges, ensuring a durable interface for at least 100,000 mating cycles.

Eight robust frame types are available in the ODU-MAC Silver-Line and the new P4+ frame offers an increased tolerance compensation with a radial play of +/- 4 mm, ensuring optimal compensation for misalignment – now making even more extreme centring tasks possible.

The P4+ frame featues:

  • Compensation : axial 1mm, radial +/- 4mm
  • Mounted floating on both sides
  • 100,000 mating cycles minimum
  • Optional grounding up to 10 mm²
  • No minimum order quantity
  • Cable assembly included

Modular and ready for immediate use
The docking frames are available in custom lengths to suit the required modules, thus allowing the transmission of different media via a single connector. Choose a combination of signals, power, high-current, high-voltage, RF signals (coax), air or fluids, data transmission and fibre-optics. Get your hybrid connector as a complete solution including cable assembly – your interface will then be ready for immediate use.

Robust in any environment
Uses for the P4+ frame include docking applications in industry, test & measurement engineering, as well as end-of-line testing and mechanical engineering.

One obvious use, for example, is as a charging interface for autonomous vehicles or for automatic docking during battery replacement. Furthermore, these ODU-MAC Silver-Line frames have already proven their durability and robustness in military vehicles.
