The ODU-AMC T-Series Connector - Beyond 38999
The ‘T’ stands for Three-on-One as three locking variants of plug (push-pull, break-away or screw-lock) can fit the same receptacle, in shell-sizes that give space-envelope savings over comparable density MIL-DTL-38999M connectors but with the same, or improved, technical performance.
Cables can use a standard MIL-M85049 back-shell or ODU over-mould and the crimp contacts can be standard MIL-AS39029, or an ODU design.
Now, in-vehicle OEMs can utilise the same bulkhead fitting across all equipment, leaving the locking mechanism to be determined by the plug-in equipment.
Even Higher Data Rates
Having already produced the ODU-AMC High Speed Data series that can combine and transmit all common protocols, with transfer rates up to 14.4 Gbits/s, DSEI will showcase a further development, the ODU AMC Series T Expanded Beam Connector. It combines the advantages of a classic expanded beam - insensitivity to dirt and scratches, with the high-performance attenuation of a physical contact (< 0.3 dB). Result - three to four times the number of glass fibres in an identical installation space, so increasing the transmission capacity significantly, while adhering to the attenuation budget.
Soldier Communications
A new power-efficient connector for soldier communications.
ODU AMC NP
Easy handling and robust, with apps such as:
- Tactical soldier batteries
- PDU (Power Distribution Units)
- CWB (Conformable Wearable Batteries)
- C4ISR peripherals
It is compatible with open-architecture standards such as NATO STANAG 4695, Nett Warrior and GOSSRA
