Elcon CROWN CLIP II Hot Plug Socket Connector The CROWN CLIP II socket, the latest addition to Elcons CROWN CLIP family, is a bus bar-mount socket connector designed to deliver high current and true hot pluggability in bus bar-based power distribution systems. The CROWN CLIP II connector combines a dual-pole contact design that allows mating with laminated bus bars, with the float-mounting capability of the original CROWN CLIP socket design.
