Coaxial system accommodates multiple contacts
ODU has added a four-position coaxial module to its ODU-MAC connector system
Furthermore the modules can be frame-mounted in multiples of up to 20 units to provide a total of 80 coaxial contacts in one aluminium frame. The coaxial components have spring-wire contacts, which are capable of more than 100,000 mating cycles with low insertion resistance. These contacts have a number of spring wires inside the socket each contacting the pin surface independently, thus providing multiple contact points.

Where applications dictate the coaxial connector can also be supplied singly or teamed with other components in the ODU-MAC system to provide contacts in one module for a range of services including power, signal, pneumatics and fibre optics.
The system offers a number of standard frames and housings but purpose-designed products can also be created using the ODU-MAC technique.
