Elcon CROWN EDGE Card Edge-style
High Current Connectors
CROWN EDGE is a board-to-board power interconnect solution
that uses Elcon high performance Crown contact technology
configured to mate directly
with a printed circuit board
edge or — for higher
currents — with a solid bus
bar. Power, signal and mixed
contact modules can be
combined and mounted end-
to-end to meet the
requirements of the
application.
High-current Card Edge Interface
CROWN EDGE uses Elcon’s proven Crown
contacts that provide multiple points of
contact for high current, and low voltage
drop and minimal heat generation. The
desired current rating for any given
application can be achieved by bussing
multiple contacts or even modules. For
even higher currents, CROWN EDGE can be
mounted onto a bus bar, and mate directly
with a bus bar tab. Optimum interface to
the mounting PC board is achieved through
five termination tails.
Flexible Modular Design
To make easy work of power distribution
design, CROWN EDGE is available in
modules of 2 and 3 contact segments, each
of which may have power or signal
contacts or a combination of both in a
single module. Modules can be placed
end-to-end for assemblies up to 8"
(203.20 mm) long. Custom molded
configurations are possible on high-
volume projects. Consult Elcon for details.
Versatile Power Arrangements
Opposing contacts are isolated, so power
connections at different voltage levels can
be on one side of the board, with ground
or power return on the other side.

ORDERING INFORMATION
Part numbers for standard CROWN EDGE
modules are shown on inside pages
under DIMENSIONS AND PART
NUMBERS.
True Hot Plug Support
CROWN EDGE power modules that support
current interruption under load as defined
by safety regulatory agencies are also
available. These true hot
plug modules allow
current interruption
under load by
incorporating a contact
design that restricts the
effects of arcing to areas
that do not compromise the integrity of the
connection when mating with a metal blade
or bus bar tab. See HOT PLUG
REQUIREMENTS on last page for details.
