1. INTRODUCTION
This specification covers the requirements for application of ELCON Drawer Series Connectors: True Hot Plug,
Blind Mating Mixed Signal and Power Connectors. These connectors are designed for use in pluggable wire-to-
board applications of power supplies. The connectors are available in a variety of custom configurations. The pin
side connector accepts pin contacts, and the socket side connector accepts socket contacts. The contact
cavities on both sides of the connector are marked for circuit identification.
The high power connectors are available with or without pre-installed guide pins; mid and low power connectors
are designed with molded-in guide posts to ensure positive mating of connectors. The molded-in pin protectors
prevent damage to the contacts. These features (including the guide pin holes and guide post cavities) have
chamfered edges for ease of mating. The connectors are designed for float-mount and fixed-mount applications
to allow blind mating with misalignment. All connectors are also designed with standoffs to allow easy printed
circuit (pc) board cleaning after soldering.
The contacts accept wire sizes 24 through 1/0 AWG. Contact sizes 20, 16, and 12 are available in crimp type,
and solder type terminations. In addition, contact size 12 is available in hot plug, specifically designed for current
interruption capability. Contact size 0 and 4 is available in crimp type termination, internal thread and external
thread for ring lug mounting and bus bar mounting. Pin contacts (except size 0 and 4) are available in three
lengths: standard, pre mate, and post mate for flexibility in contact sequencing. The contacts contain an active
element, or crown band, which ensures maximum surface contact area, allows even insertion and withdrawal
forces, and provides shock and vibration resistance. The contacts are available in loose piece only. Only crimp
type and threaded contacts are removable.
When corresponding with TE Connectivity Personnel, use the terminology provided in this specification to
facilitate your inquiries for information. Basic terms and features of this product are provided in Figure 1.
