A strain relief housing has been developed for ODU’s ODU-MAC, an add-on solution created specifically to meet the demands of ODU-MAC interfaces. The new housing, which protects the termination area against harsh environmental conditions such as blows, dirt and liquids (IP50 minimum), also offers optimal strain relief of the cables, provided by the strain relief housing.

“Strain relief is one important difference when it comes to the overall performance of the interface,” explained Bernhard Säckl of the ODU Rectangular Connector Portfolio Management. “The ODU-MAC strain relief housing offers more than just protection − it gives our clients an additional economic benefit.”

The aluminium housing allows for individual strain relief and the affixing of additional circuit boards and component parts in the protected interior. A feed-through ground connection is also available. “We’re the first company in the connector market to provide a matching housing for the strain relief of the docking frame in a standard product,” emphasised Säckl.

The new product is available for all six automatic docking frames, which are made to tackle the challenges of automatic docking situations. ODU, therefore, can now deliver complete system solutions to its clients from a single source, including the connector, matching housing and, if required, the cable assembly.
