ODU-MAC® Black-Line Compact Class: Mass Interconnect extension
(PresseBox) - With the ODU-MAC® Black-Line Compact Class, ODU is expanding its proven Black-Line portfolio with a compact and cost-effective solution for complex inspection and test requirements. The modular Mass Interconnect system was specially developed for applications that require maximum flexibility, contact density and reliability in a confined space.
The up to 4,608 signal points make the existing variants of the ODU-MAC® Black-Line real heavyweights in the field of test and measurement. However, not every customer needs the full range of existing products:
Compact Class / Basic Class / Advanced Class
Max. signals 1.536 /2.304 / 4.608
Height units 4 / 3 / 5
Number of frames 4 / 12 / 12
Compact, flexible, safe
Designed as a "half interface", the Compact Class requires only half the width of a classic 19 inch test cabinet. With 4 height units it offers space for four ODU-MAC® Blue-Line frames and with four signal blocks, for example, up to 1,536 signal points. If you need to transmit a lot of signals but need to limit the space required, the Compact Class is the right choice. In addition to a more compact size, the connection solution is characterized by its user-friendliness. The mechanical coding prevents the receiver from mismating and, thanks to the condition monitoring by means of a microswitch, it is possible to determine whether the docking process has been completed - making testing processes more convenient and safer.
Maximum modularity in a compact design
The new Compact Class can be equipped with the ODU-MAC® Blue-Line modules and supports a wide range of contact technologies: Signals, power, high-current, high-voltage, HF signals (coax), compressed air, fluids, data and fiber optics. It thus offers a universal platform for a wide range of test requirements - from end-of-line test benches to validation and development environments.
One receiver - three options
You can choose from three different options for a Compact Class receiver:
Housing Option, ITA Option or a Connector Option with a ODU-MAC® Rapid.
The housing option can be used as a "large plug": The robust and lightweight aluminum cover can be equipped with a handle for ergonomic handling and rests securely on the hooks which are attached to the left and right of the receiver. Using the hand lever, which can be attached to either side of the receiver, the interface is closed to establish a reliable connection.
It can also be used with an ITA (Interchangeable Test Adapter).
‘Dock. Test. Done.’ in small format.
The use of ODU-MAC® Blue-Line frames in the Compact Class also makes it possible to connect up to four ODU-MAC® Rapid connectors to the receiver. The Rapid series is designed with a practical half-shell principle, which facilitates assembly. The proven spindle locking system provides haptic and acoustic feedback as soon as the connector is in the final position.
Power for the highest demands
Another special feature is the fitting of the Powerblock. This has two 16 mm Lamtac® Flex contacts, through which a total of up to 600 amps (2 bridged contacts via busbar) can be transmitted per Powerblock. It also offers additional space for transmitting signals (sense), data, fluids or compressed air. This makes the Compact Class the first choice when it comes to transmitting the highest possible currents in the smallest possible installation space.
