ODU-MAC® Black-Line – Catalog-21

Contacts with lamella technology The ODU LAMTAC® consists of a turned carrier in which one or several stamped lamella strips are mounted in a fully automated process. The lamella's individual slats make for a multitude of contact points, thereby guaranteeing a high level of contact safety and ease of connecting. The adapted contact force ensures low mating and demating forces, and a long service life with low wear. The mating cycles here are minimum 10,000. • High current-carrying capacity • Low mating and demating forces • High vibration and shock resistance • Individual contacts on request
