Varicon
Introduction
Elco’s Varicon product range is available as two-piece input /
output and board level connectors (intermateable plugs and
receptacles). Varicon contacts are also available in strips, on
disposable carriers, ready for staking to p.c. cards. They all
use the famous, fork-like Varicon
(insertable / removable) hermaphroditic contact design.
Elco’s range conforms to MIL-E-5400, MIL-E-8189 and
MIL-T-21200. Varicon
MIL-C-21097, Varilok
MIL-C-28731, and Mini-Varilok
VARICON DESIGN ADVANTAGES
Elco’s hermaphroditic Varicon contact utilizes a fork-like
design incorporating four large mating surfaces that are
coined to achieve exceptional hardness and smoothness.
The mating surfaces are wedged together by the spring-like
design of the contact and by the innate properties of the
contact material. The Varicon contact has proven its reliabil-
ity in innumerable applications and with over one-million con-
tacts being produced daily, billions of successful, trouble-free
operating hours have been logged.
FEATURES
HIGH RELIABILITY
The mating surfaces provide a gas-tight connection and
resists corrosion caused by adverse environments. This seal
is made possible by the spring-like properties of the Varicon
contact and by the smoothness of the coined mating
surfaces. After being mated for years, the contacts still retain
clean, unoxidized mating surfaces.
LOW RESISTANCE
Because of the spring-like properties of the Varicon contact,
both sides of the contact are always under considerable
pressure when mated. Their sliding and wiping action
burnishes the surfaces in a self-cleaning action reducing any
constrictive resistance. The low contact resistance remains
a permanent feature of the Varicon contact even after thou-
sands of mating and unmating cycles.
HIGH CURRENT CAPACITY
The low contact resistance contributes substantially to
Varicon’s high current-carrying capacitor. Also, its heat-dissi-
pating characteristics are enhanced by its flat configuration.

SHOCK AND VIBRATION RESISTANCE
Should external forces cause any decrease in contact pres-
sure between two of the four mating surfaces, it is automat-
ically compensated by redistributing the contact pressure
between the other two mating surfaces.
ECONOMY
Varicon contacts are stamped from sheet stock instead of
screw-machined. Consequently, this production method not
only increases the production capacity but decreases pro-
duction cost as there is little waste.
VERSATILITY
The Varicon concept can be used in a card-mounted plug
that mates with a receptacle, or Varicon contacts can be
staked directly to a pc board and soldered into place. This
latter method eliminates the need for a conventional plug
reducing the cost of the connection system while retaining
the proven reliability of the Varicon interconnection.
CONTACT TYPES
Two basic sizes of our Varicon contact are available: stan-
dard and miniature Varicon. And each size has two major
variations: the fixed Varicon contact and the Varilok
insertable / removable version. The standard size is rated at
8 amps and has a withdrawal force range of 2 to 16 ounces
per contact. The miniature size is specifically for high densi-
ty applications and is rated at 5 amps with a withdrawal force
of 2 to 8 ounces per contact. (For exact specifications, check
the individual series listing.)
