The ODU-MAC connector system from ODU consists of a range of customisable, rugged frames, plastic insulation bodies with various insert patterns, and crimpable, removable contacts
Working with an appliance manufacturer ODU has developed for a food processor an IP67 rated connector with four single contacts that is dishwasher resistant up to 2000 cycles.
Furthermore the component is expected to have a 10-year or 800 hour service life and be capable of withstanding 20,000 mating cycles without signs of wear and tear.
Other specifications of the connector include thermal stability over a range of -30 to +160C, a contact resistance of less than 10mohm and insertion and withdrawal forces of less then 10N.
It is compatible with components from other suppliers and is manufactured from halogen-free materials in accordance with the CDE guidelines for household heating appliances.
