ODU-MAC® Power Connector range now complete with a solution for manual mating

With the new ODU-MAC® Power Connector M216 / M316, ODU adds a manually pluggable solution for high-current and high-voltage applications, with a robust aluminium housing variant ensuring maximum reliability and safety.

The ODU-MAC® Power Connector stands out by combining high-current and high-voltage transmission up to 600 A in a single connector, achieved via bridged contacts with current rails, while providing IP2X touch protection for enhanced user safety.

The proven ODU LAMTAC® Flex contact system guarantees low mating and unmating forces and is designed for more than 10,000 mating cycles. Typical application areas include e-mobility, end-of-line testing, and high-voltage testing.

The new M216 / M316 variant brings these advantages to manual operation. Pre-assembled silicone cables, the robust housing, and ODU LAMTAC® Flex contacts ensure long service life and operational reliability.

Just like the existing docking versions, the manual solution can be flexibly combined with ODU-MAC® Blue-Line modules, enabling a wide variety of transmission types: from signal, power, and high current to coax, pneumatics, fluids, high-speed data, and fibre optics.

Thanks to its modularity, the connector also simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime: while conventional solutions often require several connectors to supply the necessary currents, the M216 / M316 achieves this with a single plug-in action.

Delivered as a complete system with pre-assembled cables, it reduces customer effort while offering maximum flexibility for demanding testing and measurement environments, such as automotive and battery testing.
