ODU, a worldwide leader in designing and manufacturing high-performance connector solutions and cable assemblies has announced a strategic partnership between ODU-USA and RED Digital Cinema, a leading manufacturer of professional digital cameras.

RED DSMC2 cameras are available in a variety of sensor options including high-end frame and data rates and these cameras require a customizable connector solution that integrates seamlessly both visually and functionally with its multitude of camera add-ons.

“Our camera products are used on some of the biggest productions in the world, so we only utilize the highestgrade components that ensure reliability and performance,” said Jarred Land, President of RED Digital Cinema. “The connectors from ODU check all the boxes and give our mutual customers another industry alternative.”

The ODU MINI-SNAP®, a circular Push-Pull connector in a metal housing is available in various locking types and is fully customizable. An ODU MINI-SNAP® connector, both plug and receptacle, was produced in eight variations to meet RED’s requirements. 

“ODU is pleased to announce our strategic partnership and great collaboration with RED Digital Cinema” said Thomas Mittermeier, CEO at ODU-USA. “RED brought its unique industrial design and specific product requirements making this a welcomed opportunity to utilize ODU’s wide range of available custom capabilities.”

If your equipment would benefit from a similar custom connector solution, then talk to               ODU UK Ltd on Stand F41 at the Broadcast & Video Expo Excel Centre 26th-28th February.

For more than 75 years, ODU has designed customized premium connectors ensuring reliable transmission of power, signals, data, and media in demanding applications in the growth markets of medical, military & security and energy, as well as in established sectors such as industrial electronics, test & measurement, and automotive.

In 1937, Otto Dunkel built the first ionospheric transmitters, broadcasting messages into the atmosphere, to be reflected to another location. Early transmissions presented many challenges, particularly with the plug contacts of the broadcasting system. Looking out his window one day, Otto saw a man with a twig-broom sweeping up leaves – giving him the idea for an entirely new contact – the springwire.

A year later Otto patented his invention: Now known around the world as ODU SPRINGTAC, offering connector technology on the highest technical level. Multiple, individually-operating, springwires are incorporated into each contact [even the smallest 0.76mm dia contact has 15 springwires] – each springwire in contact with the pin, ensuring extremely high mating cycles and stable low contact resistance.


ODU-MAC is a rectangular connector system offering almost limitless configurations. Reliable and compact, most ODU-MAC modules are based on ODU SPRINGTAC technology, ensuring high contact stability even under increased vibration.

Available in two formats  – in a DIN housing for manual operation and in an aluminium frame as an automatic docking version. The contacts can be varied by the customer – using a configurator, backed-up by ODU technical support engineers.

Whether in connector technology for the Finnish state railway, in the analysis unit of heart catheter systems, or in pick-and-place machines, the ODU-MAC ensures reliable safety – customers report no failures in the docking version of the ODU-MAC even after one million mating cycles.

So, what’s new?

ODU have introduced a new, high-density version of their highly successful miniature AMC push-pull connector. With dia­meters from under 10 up to 18.5mm and contact densities of up to 40 contacts, this connector offer functionality and premium quality in a compact size. At the same time, these featherweights guarantee a highly robust connec­tion, convenient handling, and long service life. ODU is developing customized versions of these connectors to meet specific customer require­ments, and also offers cable assembly and over-moulding.
