ODU TURNTAC®
Charging contacts

ODU TURNTAC® is the preferred contact system for charging interfaces in the field of e‐mobility – and is available for the most commonly used standards (NACS, SAE, IEC, GB/T). In addition to the sockets, we also offer the matching pin contacts.

 

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.

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.

High-Current

The ODU TURNTAC® contact principle is suitable for high currents, such as those required for DC charging of electric vehicles. The robust design ensures stable transmission properties and an especially long service life.

System solutions

Special component geometries are possible, such as those found in charging adapters. The contact system compensates for the positions of different connector faces. The assembly of further components, such as sealing components, is also possible.

Scalability

The ODU TURNTAC® contact system is easily scalable and available in a wide range of dimensions, from contact diameters significantly smaller than 1.5 mm up to 12 mm and larger. It is therefore equally suitable for signal and high‐current applications.

ODU TURNTAC® combines the very best contact properties and high quality with economical prices. Even in adverse operating environments, this robust and flexible contact system has proven its worth. The slotted‐contact principle is scalable for high‐current applications and is thus viable with even the smallest dimensions. The unique contact geometry with optimum contact forces ensures low mating and demating forces – this is of enormous importance, especially for charging connectors. In combination with ODU contact pins, this solution guarantees a durable and reliable 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.​

Termination technology​ Cable​ Cable Lug​ Busbar​ Flexible Busbar​
Crimp​ ✔      
Screw​   ✔ ✔ ✔
Welding​ ✔   ✔ ✔
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.
