These connectors are designed and tested to ensure they can withstand extreme conditions, including exposure to sand, dust, extreme temperatures, humidity, corrosion, solar radiation, shock, vibration, and torque loads. They are thus suitable for applications in the military, security and defense sectors, as well as in agricultural and forestry machinery and equipment.
The ODU AMC® with Break‐Away or Push-Pull function was designed for connections that can be mated or demated in seconds, even under field conditions. While the Break-Away is released quickly by a pull, e.g. to avoid dangerous situations, the Push-Pull locks reliably to prevent unintentional release.
The ODU AMC® High‐Density are robust miniature connectors. They offer high performance transmission, easy handling and high reliability.
The ODU AMC® Easy‐Clean capability of these connector solutions enables high performance and high usability. The unique pin system and the design of the connector respond to all the stringent requirements of the most challenging environments
The ODU AMC® Threaded is particularly suitable for high vibration resistant interlocks with high mating cycles
The ODU AMC® Series T is a field-terminable rugged circular connector with innovative 3 on 1 locking principle. Due to the multiple sealed electrical and mechanical components it even meets requirements of MIL-STD 38999.
The ODU AMC® NP (Nett Power) is the newest addition to the AMC military connector family, tested to MIL-STD-810H with improved power contacts and USB® 2.0 capabilities. The new ODU AMC® Series NP is compatible with open architecture standards such as NATO STANAG 4695, Nett Warrior, and GOSSRA (General Open Structure Architecture).
Cable assembly can be offered as an option with all connectors.
All series in the AMC connector range meet the requirements of protection class IP6K9K when mated. Detailed technical data for the individual products can be found in the catalogs.
You can find STEP Files and Data Sheets in the ODU Product Finder.
The ODU AMC® connectors meet various MIL standards, including:
- MIL-DTL-38999: This standard covers the requirements for cylindrical connectors with threaded coupling for electrical and optical signals in military applications.
- Noxious gas ressistence acc. to SAE AS39029
- Connectors with MIL-Std Accessory thread according to the specifications of MIL-DTL-38999 Series III
