ODU AMC Specialists in EMC Shielding
Communications demand 360° EMC protection. It is vital that no
outside influences can disrupt communication between the soldiers
and the control centre. The ODU AMC series naturally have the right
solution here, as well. All versions have been designed with 360°
shielding.
Connection between plug inner housing and receptacle by use of a
circular EMI ring.
Connection between crimp adapter and inner housing by use of
contact fingers and thread.
Option: “Band It” instead of crimp.

Don’t buy just the connector – ODU supplies you with the ODU AMC
series as a complete solution including cable assembly and
over-moulding. Cable assembly is a very complex subject. It
requires equal measures of expertise in the areas of connectors,
cable and assembly. ODU meets all these requirements fully.
We handle everything for you – consultation, problem analysis,
project planning, development, prototype construction with first
sample test report, assembly, technical documentation – in short,
all the jobs involved in creating a complete solution – you get
everything from one source, with no intermediary suppliers.
Connectors can be over-moulded straight and at right-angles…
… or assembled with a heat shrink tube.
