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.

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/…
