Customized connector solution in the smallest possible installation space

The individual plug-in connection system of the ODU-MAC^® Blue-Line focuses on the simplest handling both during assembly and during operation by the end user. A practical advantage of the ODU-MAC^® Blue-Line is its special coding, which ensures correct insertion of the modules in the frame. It is also possible to change the contacts from the connector side, which allows simple assembly or disassembly. The unique ODU spindle technology allows the user to open and close the housings easily and ergonomically. Depending on requirements, modules from the areas of signals, power, high current, high voltage, coax, media such as air or fluids, data rates or light waves can be combined. With up to 740 contacts and at least 10,000 mating cycles, the ODU-MAC^® Blue-Line is currently the most compact hybrid connector on the market. Learn more at https://www.odu-connectors.com/…

The connector solutions of the ODU-MAC^® Blue-Line are used for example in medical technology as an interface between X-ray equipment and monitor trolley or as a connection between dermatological laser and the individual applicators. But there are also many areas of application in measurement and testing technology and in mechanical engineering.
