Ed, nice pix, thanks. Looking at the Elko Varicon I have in hand (DXX455-1000-3) the contacts are essentially hermaphroditic. This chassis mount housing gives up its contacts fairly easily, just unbend a tab to release. Turn them 90 degrees and you have something that works like the mating PCB side contact. Only part requiring effort would be to trim / mount / hold them in line somehow.
I'd offer up mine (no big deal, I have more) but I suspect it's the smaller contact - dual row 0.1" centers vertical, 0.2" centers horizontal, rows offset 0.1". If you think it might be workable let me know.

The contacts are called Varicon and are used both on circuit boards and in connectors. The connector version is available, but I can't find the board version. The last picture in the above gallery shows a close-up of the connectors. They were available in regular and mini versions. I need the regular ones that stand about 4.3 mm high. The minis are about 3.5 mm high and won't mate with the regular ones. New ones could be loose or spaced out on a plastic strip to make installation easier. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
