Connector company expands cable assembly activity
Connector specialist ODU has manufactured cable assemblies for a number of years, usually for customer specific requirements, but is now expanding this activity on a much broader base. The company stresses that it not setting up a conventional assembly house but will be providing complete assemblies using its own connector products.
By keeping the process in-house ODU says that it will be able to offer advantages by designing the connector and cable interface for a specific project in many instances, rather than merely attaching a cable to an existing connector. This means that components can be more space efficient and the final product more economically priced.
Under the guidance of a new specialist group dedicated to cable assembly design at its Muhldorf, Germany headquarters, with production in a new subsidiary in Romania, the company can produce added value product for a wide variety of purposes. These cover a diverse range of sectors such as medical, military, general instrumentation and automotive, to name just a few, with assemblies including front panel to control modules, sub assembly PCB to panel and patient catheter to monitor using disposable interconnects.
