Low cycle version of modular connector for mass market Connector specialist ODU has introduced a low cycle version of its MAC modular system targeted at the mass market for application where the number of mating cycles is relatively low. Traditionally the MAC system is used where high contact stability and a large number of mating cycles, as much as 100,000 to 1,000,000, are required.

Testing and medical technology are major uses here.

However there are many application requiring the abilities of the modular connector, such as a number and variety of contact types in one housing, but not the high mating capacity.

An example of this is a machine interface system that may be connected and disconnected a maximum of only 10 times.

The standard MAC system would be over-specified and too expensive but the MAC LC is competitive.

The unit differs from the original product by using standard slotted type contacts, instead of the more expensive spring wire system, to provide the customer with a much less expensive component for the mass market.

Furthermore it retains features such as easy assembly and removal of contacts within a modular framework and can be combined with power, signal, fibre-optic and pneumatic interfaces.
