ODU (UK) Ltd - About us

Selecting the right medical connector system is a key factor in ensuring that everything functions flawlessly. Whilst smaller, lighter, cheaper, are constant demands, the technical requirements are ever-tightening.

ODU are preferred suppliers to many medical device manufacturers, including Philips, Siemens, GE and Berlin Heart etc.
ODU have ISO 13485 approval and offer a wide range of connector and cord-set options, including low-cost ‘disposables’. 

The needs of the dismounted soldier are being met by ODU with the Advanced Military Connector [AMC]. As long-term suppliers to Thales, Selex, Oerlikon, Saft, and General Dynamics etc, this new generation of miniature circular push-pull and snatch connectors is based on specific feedback from several Future Soldier trials [FIST, FELIN, IdZ, Land Warrior etc.], as well as on existing programmes, such as UK Bowman - where over 100,000 military headset ‘snatch’ connectors from ODU have been utilised - without a single reported failure.

In battlefield deployment, the soldier deserves a connector system that is totally secure, utterly reliable and fit-for-purpose - that is exactly what we offer. 

Small, cylindrical, push-pull connectors are extremely popular with instrumentation manufacturers needing to respond to demands for ever smaller devices - ODU has many varieties to suit every possible application.

Additionally, ODU also manufactures rectangular DIN inserts and card-to-cable connectors that can be incorporated into assemblies especially for this market. 

Every connection also needs its cable and cable assembly is a complex subject.
Here at ODU, we assemble cables to the same high standard as our connectors - no compromise - offering you a complete solution from one source, together with UL approval
