Contact springs
Quality counts for the contact spring
The use of contact springs in the area of the Testing high-quality electronic assemblies places the highest demands on quality and reliability. The ohmic resistance must be as low as possible, but at the same time constant over the long term. The durability of the spring, which must also have a constant spring force, is also important. There is also the requirement to be dirt-repellent and to avoid any build-up that could impair contact.
Contact spring with customised geometries
Contact springs, also known as spring contactsContact springs are contact elements that are primarily used in the electronics industry, for example for testing printed circuit boards, connectors and other components. However, contact springs can also be found in battery chargers or battery compartments of mobile devices.
The function of closing a circuit is achieved here by contacting spring-supported elements and not, as is the case with plugs, by inserting pins into a socket. This opens up a variety of individual geometries that are necessary for reliable contacting.
Not superficial on the surface
Only good electrical conductors can be considered as materials for a good contact spring. However, the surface coating is just as important in order to improve electrical conductivity and protect against corrosion and oxidation. As a contact spring manufacturer, we have mastered the range of materials and surfaces and can therefore guarantee the exceptional quality of our contact springs. By taking into account all the determining factors, durability, conductivity, reliability and surface quality, we at Schaaf find the perfect solution. Customer-orientated solution that also impresses with its cost-effectiveness. We are happy to develop these efficiently and sustainably in co-operation with the customer. A correspondingly high level of added value is thus already established in the joint development phase.
Your contact for the best contact springs
Due to the many years of versatile experience with contact springs Thanks to the expertise of our development department, we can offer high-quality solutions for a wide range of applications. A modern machine park supports the range of our possibilities, which also includes contacting in environments with high tolerances.
