Mounting Types<br />
PCB mountings<br />
Right Angle – A connec<strong>to</strong>r with through hole right<br />
angled centre pin. The connec<strong>to</strong>r body will have legs<br />
that go through the board.<br />
Edge Mount – The centre pin of an edge mounted<br />
connec<strong>to</strong>rs is straight and can be surface mount.<br />
Posts go through the board at right angles <strong>to</strong> hold<br />
the connec<strong>to</strong>r in place.<br />
Surface Mounted - The centre pin is the surface<br />
mounted part of this connec<strong>to</strong>r and the legs are right<br />
angled through hole for mechanical stability.<br />
Top Entry – A <strong>to</strong>p entry connec<strong>to</strong>r has a straight pin<br />
that goes through the board and the connec<strong>to</strong>rs is<br />
perpendicular <strong>to</strong> the PCB.<br />
All PCB mounted connec<strong>to</strong>rs mentioned above are<br />
available with a number of leg or post lengths<br />
suitable <strong>to</strong> different board thicknesses.<br />
End Launch – The pin of an end launch connec<strong>to</strong>r is<br />
straight and the PCB goes between the legs of the<br />
connec<strong>to</strong>r. The distance between the legs on an end<br />
launch connec<strong>to</strong>r can differ <strong>to</strong> suit different board<br />
thicknesses.<br />
Cable Mountings<br />
Straight – With a straight pin that will be crimped or<br />
soldered on<strong>to</strong> the cable.<br />
Right Angled – The cable is crimped or soldered at<br />
the right angle join with the straight pin.<br />
Bulkhead Mounting<br />
A connec<strong>to</strong>r that is fixed <strong>to</strong> a bulkhead either by a single jam nut or by<br />
four screws and is hardwired on one side and has a mating free<br />
connec<strong>to</strong>r on the other side.<br />
