Eurostat conductive magazines

The construction parameters are selected to minimize dimension tolerances

while using the magazine. The 4 outside walls are vacuum-formed from

3mm thick plastic sheets. Metal frame reinforcement on each opening.

Inner short walls are covered with a 1,2mm plastic sheet.

Reference plate and adjustable plate are thermoformed from 1,2mm thick

plastic sheet and reinforced with metal tubing.

Adjustment of the magazine to the PCB dimensions:

– Each magazine is equipped with a reference plate and an adjustable plate.

– Insertion of boards between the reference plate grooved at 10 mm pitch on one side and the

adjustable plate grooved at 10mm pitch on the both sides.

– The magazine is adjusted to the PCB dimensions by positioning the adjustable plate. For this

purpose the inner short walls are grooved at 5mm pitch. Each groove is numbered.

– The adjustable plate is asymmetric (2/3 – 1/3) allowing additional adjustment to a 2,5mm pitch.
