This connector delivers top-tier performance while minimising weight and space, providing a robust and touch-proof design that is both efficient and versatile.

Compact, flexible, and reliable

The ODU MEDI-SNAP range offers a broad selection of connectors, but the Size 3.5 stands out for its adaptability and high performance. This model boasts features like up to IP68 protection, up to 41 contacts, and an available hybrid version with silicone over-molded cable assembly. It provides flexibility through push-pull or break-away connectors, with mechanical or optical coding options. While the possibilities are not endless, ODU pushes boundaries to ensure optimal performance even in the tightest spaces.

Versatile applications

The ODU MEDI-SNAP Size 3.5 is incredibly versatile, making it suitable for a wide array of applications. While designed primarily for medical environments, it also excels in industries like test and measurement, industrial electronics, and automotive. Its ability to accommodate hybrid solutions allows for the transmission of multiple signals alongside power or fluids, making it ideal for complex and demanding tasks.

ODU’s custom inserts can also handle additional media, including coax, fiber optics, or even high-voltage applications. The plastic connector is compatible with standard sterilization methods used in medical technology and offers superior touch protection in accordance with IEC 60601-1 standards (2 MOPP/2 MOOP). Specially designed inserts ensure that air and creepage distances meet the required safety standards, ensuring reliable performance for critical applications.
