ELCO Multipin Connectors from only £0.01 / 0.02 € ex vat
Formerly available in 5 sizes, denoted by the maximum number of contact pins that can be housed - 20, 38, 56, 90 and 120. Only the number of pins required for the circuits to be carried need be used, and polarisation to prevent miss-mating may also be set by the user. Connectors are supplied in component form, and all parts should be ordered separately.

NOT ALL SIZES ARE AVAILABLE SINCE THESE UNITS ARE TO CLEAR SEE LIST FOR AVAILABILITY

Cable types are designed plug type ('male' - MC) or socket type ('female' FC) and have an actuating screw. Panel/chassis types are designated plug type ('male' - MP) or socket type ('female' - FP) and have a locking nut. (Note that the housings are similar, so actuating screw types can be panel mounted, and locking nut types can be cable mounted, though this usage is less common). All connector bodies are high impact polycarbonate.

Contacts are identical for both plug and socket types, and are available in solder or crimp termination types, together with a mini wire wrap and short PCB mount type. Note that with 1/0.5mm wire, the conductor should be doubled back on itself before crimping. Contacts are listed in the EDAC connectors section of the catalogue.

Metal covers for the 38 pin size feature a removable side panel for ease of fitting and better access to the termination area, and have top cable entry (cable parallel to pins) or side cable entry (cable at right angles to contact pins). Screws are supplied with each cover for fixing it to the connector.

20, 38, and 56 way cable connectors have knurled locking screw. 90 and 120 way have large locking knob - spare knobs, hex screws and hex keys are available.
