STRAIGHT PARTS
EXAMPLE: This part would be ordered as PEG12DS-TBR / PO3 (for TOP entry)
With mating portion of the part facing
you, count peg holes from left to right.
Designate peg hole “XX” to receive the
peg by adding “PXX” to the end of the
part number.
RIGHT ANGLE PARTS
EXAMPLE: This part would be ordered as PEG06SR-TBR / BO3 (for BOTTOM entry)
With mating portion of the part facing
you and PC tails pointing down, count
peg holes from left to right.
Designate peg hole “XX” to receive
the peg by adding “BXX” to the end of
the part number.
Sample Application of Crane’s HOLD-DOWN PEG
A manufacturer of set top boxes for cable TV recently
asked Crane for a solution to a board stacking problem.
Since their application required a very tall part, they
were having trouble keeping it in
VERTICAL PLANE
during the solder process.
To solve the problem, Crane produced the header with
its unique pegging option. By installing two
TOP
ENTRY PEGS
, Crane was able to “snug” the header to
the PC board. This served to keep it straight during the
solder process.
QUESTION: Why not just kink the tails
Although kinked tails would have kept the part from
“floating” on the solder wave, they would not have
prevented the part from tilting out of plane.
