ODU expands AMC® Series T with square flange solutions
As an innovative connection solution characterized by a 3-in-1 locking mechanism and outstanding performance in demanding applications, the ODU AMC® Series T has been inspiring users in military and civilian environments for several years. This summer, ODU is expanding its popular product line with a robust, reliable and versatile connectivity solution specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of the military, security and commercial aviation industries.
First-class features and design
The new ODU AMC® Series T Square Flange Receptacles have a rectangular flange that complies with the cut-out dim. according to MIL-DTL 38999. The square solution is currently available for sizes 09 and 12, each with seven different inserts. This enables a flexible adjustment that can be fully adapted to the specific requirements of the applications.
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 both the front and rear using four M3 screws and a MIL-C-38999 sealing.
Seamless integration and simple field assembly – as easy as it gets
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 as needed. Square flange mounting makes this type of installation easier because the holes and distances can be standardized. ODU has also made the integration of the new square flange solution into existing systems as simple as possible. The mounting dimensions of the ODU AMC® Series T Square Flange Receptacles comply with the standard specified by MIL-DTL-38999, allowing the receptacles to fit seamlessly into existing cut-outs. By simply replacing an existing interface with an ODU AMC® Series T connector system, the benefits of the product line can be easily incorporated into existing systems.
In particular, the simple field assembly and the 3-in-1 locking system (screw lock, push-pull, break-away) of the ODU AMC® T series offer considerable added value for reliable handling in demanding environments compared to conventional connector systems.
Versatile applicability and maximum reliability
Like all other products in the ODU AMC® T series, the 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 the hardest 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.
Connection solutions from the ODU AMC® T series are ideal for applications such as
– Military and civil ground and air vehicles and embedded systems
