I CONNECTOR MOUNTING
Spacing between modules in end-to-end mounting
The spacing between plated thru holes for end-to-end mounting varies depending on the chosen module combination. Spacing for
the three possible combinations is shown below.
Power-to-power
Signal-to-signal
Power-to-signal
Press-fit Tails
CROWN EDGE uses truly compliant eye of the needle press-fit
tails designed for boards 0.093" thick and above.
Suggested printed circuit hole for power contact
Finished Hole: .040 ± .003 (1.02 ± .08)
Drilled Hole: .0453 ± .0005 (1.151 ± .013)
Copper Plate: .0010 (.025) min. (per surface)
Tin Plate: .0003 (.008) min. (per surface)
Tooling for compliant press-fit assemblies
Pressing fixtures are recommended for compliant press-fit
assemblies. Contact Elcon for fixtures or a detailed tool drawing.

I CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
Photogaphs may show simulated images.
Non-standard Modules
In case the standard CROWN EDGE modules do not meet
your design requirements, Elcon has the capability to
mold any combination of power and signal contact layouts
in 2 and 3 segment modules.
Application-specific Custom Designs
Elcon has a long history of designing and building
application specific custom connectors, and CROWN EDGE
is no exception. A one-piece CROWN EDGE insulator,
instead of a combination of several modules, provides
a more robust interconnect design, as well as cost
savings in high volume projects. Consult
Elcon for details.
