ODU is expanding its ODU AMC Series T product line with a robust, reliable and versatile connectivity solution specifically designed for military, security and commercial aviation.
The new ODU AMC Series T Square Flange Receptacles have a rectangular flange that complies with cut-out dimensions according to MIL-DTL 38999. The square solution is currently available for sizes 09 and 12, each with seven different inserts. This enables flexible adjustment, fully adaptable to application requirements.
For maximum flexibility, ODU offers the square flange solution as a standard or reverse gender type with three connection options: backshell, crimp-sleeve/ band-it or PCB. Assembly is possible from the front and rear using four M3 screws and a MIL-C-38999 sealing.
Communication devices are often retrofitted into military vehicles or upgraded in the field. For this purpose, drilling holes for cable laying and device assembly is carried out on site. Square flange mounting makes this type of installation easier because holes and distances can be standardised.
ODU has simplified integration of the square flange solution into existing systems as the mounting dimensions comply with the MIL-DTL-38999 standard, allowing receptacles to fit seamlessly into existing cut-outs. By replacing an existing interface with an ODU AMC Series T connector system, the product’s benefits can be incorporated into existing systems.
The simple field assembly and three-in-one locking system (screw lock, push- pull, break-away) offer considerable added value for reliable handling in demanding environments compared to conventional connector systems.
Square flange solutions are designed for integration into a wide range of military and civilian applications. From military ground and air vehicles to radar systems or inverters, ODU’s connectivity solution guarantees reliable performance under hard conditions. The extreme interconnectivity of the system makes the ODU AMC Series T suitable, for example, as an interface for communication systems that alternate between stationary and mobile use.
Applications include: military and civil ground and air vehicles and embedded systems; military applications that use connection systems in accordance with MIL- DTL-38999; insert in military electronics systems; and stationary and mobile modules such as radars, inverters, video encoders, cable drums, air transport racks (ATRs) and power distribution units (PDUs).
