Spring loaded contacts for medical equipment

1 January 2017 Test & Measurement

Ingun has leveraged its expertise in developing and manufacturing spring loaded contacts for the test equipment sector, to deliver the same high precision, technical know-how and flexibility in regard to special projects for medical technology.

The increasing quality demands in medical technology require high-grade solutions. If conventional contacts cannot satisfy the application requirements, then the use of spring-loaded contacts from Ingun can prove beneficial. The design of the contact consists of a barrel, a contacting plunger and a spiral-shaped pressure spring. This design offers a wide range of advantages.

Short-stroke probes are used as battery contacts or as a transfer pin in charging units. The test probes not only have a very compact design but also a short installation height in conjunction with a high spring force. For use directly on the PC board, Ingun recommends the series GKS-967 with a closed barrel end, so that no solder can get into the barrel during the soldering process.
