ODU quick-change head (QCH) technology

Instead of a conventional cable connection, the flatsocket uses a contact pin for connection. This can be mated to an ODU SPRINGTAC® or ODU LAMTAC® Contact Socket, which in turn is installed in a connector that has been preassembled in accordance with your requirements. The ODU SPRINGTAC® Flatsocket with quick‐change head connection is then integrated into an interchange part: You can replace the test adapter quickly and easily as required – with no additional assembly work.

ODU quick-change head (QCH) technology

Low, stable contact resistance

Thanks to stable contact resistance values and a high number of contact points, the connector system always ensures reliable measurement results. The contacts are also extremely durable and robust – for many years of use with your test components.

Specially developed for test engineering

ODU SPRINGTAC® Flatsockets guarantee reliable performance at high volumes and with high test currents for applications in automotive electronics and instrumentation.
