Space is a scarce commodity, especially in the world of electrical engineering, where every millimetre counts. To meet these requirements, ODU is offering a solution with the ODU MINI-SNAP Super Shorty in the F series. This connector solves problems in places with no room for error, particularly with the option of tailoring the cable assembly to the specific application.

The ODU Super Shorty combines the advantages of the ODU MINI-SNAP series but with a length reduction of up to 25% - making it ideal for applications that require easy mounting in extremely confined spaces.

Despite its reduced size, this connector has enough space for convenient and professional connection of the cable strands. The design also provides the optimum conditions for over-moulding and protection of the termination area, either in a straight or right-angled design.

The ODU MINI-SNAP Series F Super Shorty connectors are available as ready-made assemblies with matching cable and over-moulding tailored to the specific application.

The technical characteristics of the ODU MINI-SNAP Series F Super Shorty ensures it can provide an optimum solution for demanding applications in confined spaces.

Rated at IP68 and with a service life of at least 5,000 mating cycles, the push-pull locking system ensures both a safe connection and easy removal in hard-to-reach places. Even blind-plugging is possible, due to the simple handling and half-shell coding.                            

As an extra option, the ODU MINI-SNAP Series F Super Shorty is also available in a tin-nickel version in addition to the standard finish in matt chrome.

Whilst retaining the technical advantages, the compact design makes the ODU MINI-SNAP Super Shorty of the F series practical in use, with the connector and cable providing a safe connection for transmissions under adverse conditions, with no compromises.
