ODU MINI‐SNAP® Series L – Catalog-14

PRODUCT INFORMATION FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE OF THE PUSH-PULL LOCKING Push-Pull locking systems have a highly user-friendly locking mechanism. When the connector is mated with the receptacle, the connector’s locking fingers (1) will lock into place in the receptacle and form a dependable connection between both parts. It cannot be separated by pulling on the connector’s cable (2). Instead, the connector can easily be separated from the receptacle by pulling on the outer housing (3). Push-pull connectors from ODU are available in 6 different standard sizes with diameters from 6.4 mm to 25 mm. Connector...
