TERMINATION TECHNOLOGIES
ODU MINI-SNAP connector plug housings are made of
brass, nickel plated and then matt chrome plated.
Nickel and black chrome plated connector plug hous-
ings are available upon request as special materials.
The internal parts are made of nickel plated brass.
Insulators with pin contacts fit into the receptacle ꢀ or in-line receptacleꢁ as well as into the plug. The same
applies to insulators with socket contacts. In general, insulators with socket contacts are installed in the live
part ꢀ to provide protection from accidental touchꢁ.
The means of mounting the contacts in the insulator is important on account of the termination technologies.
Termination technologies for ODU MINI-SNAP connectors include: soldering, crimping and PCB.

Solder termination
The contacts are mounted in the insulator before the single connectors are assembled.
An insulator with pre-installed contacts is referred to as a contact insert.

Crimp termination
Here, the individual contact is connected to the individual wires via deformation in the termination area. Then
the contacts are individually installed in the insulator. Accordingly, insulators and individual contacts ꢃ and not
complete contact inserts ꢃ are supplied for the crimp termination. The contact processing for the production of
connecting cables via crimping creates a secure, durable and corrosion-free contact. Cold compaction ꢀ crimpingꢁ
compresses the conductor and contact material to the press points so as to form a gas-tight connection with
tensile strength to fit the conductor material. 8-point deformation is generally used for turned crimp contacts.
PCB termination
This is only used in the receptacle if the receptacle is to be mounted directly on a printed circuit board ꢀ PCBꢁ.
