Overview: The document provides detailed information about ODU AMC® connectors, designed for harsh environments. These connectors are suitable for conditions involving sand, dust, extreme temperatures, humidity, corrosion, solar radiation, shock, vibration, and torque, ensuring reliable electrical communication under high mechanical stress.
Product Features: ODU AMC® connectors are available in various sizes and configurations, including Push-Pull, Break-Away, Easy-Clean, and High-Density versions. The Easy-Clean version features three standard connector shell sizes, plug outer diameters ranging from 11.9 mm to 15.9 mm, and supports 4 to 19 contacts. They meet international protection classes IP6K8 and IP6K9K.
Materials and Applicability: The connectors use PEEK as the insulator material, with housings made of aluminum plated with ruthenium over nickel. They operate within a temperature range of –51 °C to +125 °C, making them ideal for defense, security, and industrial electronics applications.
Complete System Solution: ODU provides a comprehensive system solution, including 100% outgoing inspection, clean room assembly, factory-automated processes, overmolding, ultrasonic welding, EMI shielded enclosure assembly, custom labeling, and various potting options.
Technical Specifications: The document includes detailed technical specifications, such as connector sizes, contact configurations, and PCB layouts. It also provides guidelines for configuring connectors using the ODU part number key, ensuring a tailored solution for specific needs.
Break-Away Function: The Break-Away function allows for quick mating and unmating of connectors, with a safety feature that enables separation when axial tension exceeds a specific retention force.
Configuration Guidelines: Step-by-step instructions are provided for configuring individual products using the ODU part number key, covering aspects like series, type/style, size, coding, housing material, contact insert, and termination cross-section.
Derating Factors and Curves
The document discusses the application of derating factors for connectors, particularly for multi-core cables as per VDE 0298-4:2013-06. A derating factor is applied when there are five or more live wires. The derating curve is a corrected current-carrying capacity curve that accounts for manufacturing tolerances and uncertainties in temperature measurement.
Operating Voltage
Operating voltage values are based on SAE AS 13441:2004-method 3001.1 and comply with MIL-Std. 1344. The operating voltage is calculated as one-third of 75% of the measured breakdown voltage. Tests are conducted under standard environmental conditions and applicable up to 2,000 meters altitude.
American Wire Gauge (AWG)
The document explains the AWG system, where wire cross-section changes by 26% from one gauge number to the next. It highlights the differences between solid and stranded wires, noting that stranded wires offer greater flexibility and longer service life under bending and vibration.
Technical Terms
Several technical terms are defined, including ambient temperature, chemical resistance, clearance distance, and creepage distances. The document also explains the concepts of crimp connections, degree of pollution, and termination technologies.
General Notes
The document emphasizes the importance of safety precautions to prevent contact with live conductors during installation and operation. It also notes that ODU reserves the right to make changes to their products and specifications without prior notice.
