Flexibility

The outer contours and termination area can be adapted in accordance with different installation situations. Special contours, sealing surfaces, and other requirements can be flexibly implemented.

Reliable sealing

Our optionally available o‑ring seals for turned charging contacts ensure long‑lasting, reliable sealing. They provide effective protection against the ingress of moisture and dirt.

Touch protection

Simulation methods, measurements and long-term tests ensure the function and thus provide permanently reliable protection against electric shock.

Versatile

The possible applications range from vehicle charging sockets to various charging cables and adapters to interchangeable mains plugs.

ODU Pins

Pin contacts for EV charging

Available for all common charging standards
Rugged and universal
Flexible contact design
Up to 20,000 mating cycles
Looking for standard or customized solutions?

Just ask us! We’ll talk to you in person and design a solution that is perfectly tailored to your needs.

ODU Pins are the perfect addition to all contact systems. The importance of pins is often underestimated and little attention is paid to them. However, the quality of the pin is crucial for a permanently reliable connection. The electrical performance and service life of a contact system are always determined by both contact partners. Only high-quality materials and surface coating technologies are therefore used for ODU Pins.

  • Can be used for all common charging standards
  • Developed for vehicle charging sockets, charging cables
  • For interchangeable grid plugs
  • Suitable for all ODU contact systems
  • Robust and universal
  • With touch protection
  • Various solutions for cable assembly and connection

Which termination technologies does ODU offer?

The termination has just as significant an impact on the performance of a contact system as the contact system itself.​ ​ODU Automotive supports the selection, proper design, and qualification of the most suitable connection technology – from the initial concept phase through to series production readiness.​

Crimping

Crimping is a common and straightforward termination technology.
Various standard cable cross-sections are available, and customized terminations can also be easily realized.

Welding

Welding is a preferred solution for larger cable cross-sections used in power contacts.
A wide variety of termination lugs can be manufactured and precisely tailored to the requirements of both the customer and the cable assembly provider.

Busbar Connection

The use of busbars is increasing in many applications.
Power contacts can be designed with suitable screw or welded terminations, while all other contacts are typically terminated using crimp technology.

Screw Termination

The traditional screw termination remains a popular choice due to its flexibility.
The connection is made using a cable lug, allowing the same contact to be used with different cable types and sizes.
