ODU Connectors introduces AMC Series T

ODU Connectors has introduced its ODU AMC Series T, a new three in one high performance military connector solution with three locking modes.

Designed for military and security applications, the ODU AMC Series T connectors offer three compatible plug locking options: Push-Pull, Break-Away and Thread-Lock - all fitting to a common bulkhead or receptacle across the equipment:

  • Push-pull plug reliably locks into the device with a ball-lock system.
  • Break-Away (or Snatch) plug is designed to release the connection with manual pull-force exerted, allowing quick and easy disconnection in critical situations.
  • Thread-Lock screw locking is particularly suitable for applications that have to deal with extremely strong vibrations.

The ODU AMC Series T is designed to allow emergency personnel to quickly and easily clean the connectors and replace interfaces, even in the field under extreme conditions and stress, with mechanical and colour-coding preventing mis-mating.

Different transmission variants can be individually configured, even in the smallest installation space. The robust housings are waterproof up to IP6K9K being submersible to 20 metres for a duration of up to two hours.

The ODU AMC Series T meets the requirements of MIL-STD-38999 and offers additional advantages, being certified to MIL-STD-1472 and MIL-STD-810, withstanding temperature extremes from -65° to +175° C and severe vibration. Standard 38999 crimps and back-shells are suitable for use with this connector.
