German connector maker ODU has introduced a modular connector for docking systems that can handle ±4mm of radial play to allow for misalignment.
1mm of axial compensation is also available, as is optional grounding up to 10mm2.
Called P4+, and part of its Silver-Line product family, the frame “ensures a durable interface for at least 100,000 mating cycles”, according to the company.
The docking frames are available in custom lengths and can be equipped with a choice of connector modules for analogue signals, data signals, power, high current, high voltage, RF signals (coax), air, other fluids and fiber optics.
“Get your hybrid connector as a complete solution including cable assembly – your interface will then be ready for immediate use,” said ODU.
Applications are foreseen in industry, test, measurement, end-of-line testing, mechanical engineering, charging autonomous vehicles and automatic battery replacement docking.
