Ergonomic connector handling with spindle locking

26-07-2023 | ODU Connectors | Industrial

Sometimes, a good technical solution needs to deliver the best connector, particularly in modular rectangular connectors. 

While quick and secure locking is essential, the usual lever-locking mechanism could be clearer. Fortunately, there is an alternative to hand from ODU.

ODU-MAC spindle locking provides particularly easy ergonomic handling. With minimal effort, connection employs a simple rotary movement.

This intuitive, secure locking is available in various plastic and metal housings for the ODU-MAC Blue-Line and White-Line series.

Spindle locking works better and looks better, maintaining the overall appearance and style of the user's equipment.

The user gets a long-lasting solution for at least 10,000 locking cycles, and, to further extend the service life, the spindle can be replaced in a few simple steps. Of course, optional coding is available if several identical connectors are used.

Also, when several connectors are needed, such as in a control cabinet, there is the bonus advantage of a reduced space envelope, as there is less room around the connector for lever-locking.

Ergonomic, intuitive, good-looking and space-saving make the solution an excellent rectangular connector for equipment design.
