PRODUCT INFORMATION
CIRCULAR CONNECTORS WITH PUSH-PULL LOCKING
IN METAL CONNECTOR PLUG HOUSING
ODU MINI-SNAP is the ideal self-locking circular connector for a wide range
of applications. Whether used for transmitting power, signals, data or other
media, this circular connector in its robust metal connector plug housing
impresses customers with its exceptional quality, high reliability and ideal
handling characteristics.
The Push-Pull principle reliably ensures that the connector will not come
loose during application in practice: Once plugged in, the ODU MINI-SNAP
locks itself into the receptacle automatically. It cannot be separated by
pulling on the cable. Instead, the connector can easily be separated from the
receptacle by pulling on the outer housing.
The ODU MINI-SNAP is available in a wide range of sizes and models. In addi-
tion, you can choose between three base codings.
VERSATILE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
There are 6 sizes, 3 termination types and
a great variety of various contact inserts to
choose from.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE OF
THE PUSH-PULL LOCKING
Push-Pull locking systems have a highly user-friendly locking mechanism.
When the connector is mated with the receptacle, the connector’s locking fi -
gers (1) will lock into place in the receptacle and form a dependable connec-
tion between both parts. It cannot be separated by pulling on the connector’s
cable (2). Instead, the connector can easily be separated from the receptacle
by pulling on the outer housing (3). Push-pull connectors from ODU are avail-
able in 6 dierent standard sizes with diameters from 6.4 mm to 25 mm.
You can read about the precise functioning of
the locking mechanism in the relevant series.
Connector
in mated condition
Pulling on the cable or back
nut will lock the “fi gers”
firm y in place in the recep-
tacle’s locking groove. This
prevents the connector
from being disconnected.
But pulling on the outer
housing will cause the
fi gers to emerge from the
locking groove, making
it easy to disconnect the
connector.

APPLICATIONS AND MATERIALS
The ODU MINI-SNAP uses PEEK insulator material as a stand-
ard feature. Other materials are available upon request. ODU
MINI-SNAP connector plug housings are made of brass, nickel
plated and then matt chrome plated. Nickel and black chrome
plated connector plug housings are available upon request as
special materials. The internal parts are made of nickel-plated
brass.
Thanks to its versatility and autoclavability, the ODU MINI-SNAP
is used in a wide range of fields, such as medical technology,
measurement and testing technology, military and security
technology, industrial electronics and energy technology.
The temperature of ODU MINI-SNAP range under general condi-
tions of use runs from –40 °C to +120 °C, while autoclavable
connectors can even be used at temperatures up to +134 °C
(see page 170 ).
Information on diameters, terminal types and current-
carrying capacity can be found in the relevant series after
the inserts.
