Varicon
Introduction
CONTACT MATERIAL
The primary contact material used is phosphor bronze. The
electrical conductivity of copper alloys are extremely good.
Within the Varicon concept, the contacts must also perform
as springs and these alloys offer the elastic properties and
the endurance required by today’s rugged applications.
CONTACT PLATING
A nickel underplate of 50 to 100 microinches, followed by a
minimum of 10 microinches of gold plate is Elco’s standard
contact plating. The gold plate prevents the formation of
insulating oxide films while the nickel plate provides a hard
backing. It, in turn, reduces wear on the gold and prevents
diffusion between the gold and base metal. Other plating
thicknesses, such as those required by military specifica-
tions, can be supplied on request.

VARILOK CRIMP-AND-INSERT
CONTACTS
The crimp-termination, insertable / removable Varilok contact
offers a solderless connection between wire and contact as
well as strain relief for the wire. This contact snaps into the
insulator quickly and easily. With our simple tool it can be
removed without difficulty, yet it locks securely into place and
cannot twist or bend out of alignment.
Varilok contacts also are available with wire-wrappable, solder
and taper-tab tail configurations. Available loose for small
scale production and replacement purposes, the Varilok
contact is also supplied on reels for use with fast, economi-
cal automatic crimping machines reducing man-hour
requirements and production costs in medium and large-
scale production runs. Because the contact can be crimped
to the wire and installed into the insulator at any point during
the manufacturing operation, it offers the user convenience
and flexibility. Reels contain 1800 standard contacts or 3000
miniature contacts.
