Showing Results For: Contacts, Spring Loaded (Pogo Pins), and Pressure
Contacts are the conductive components within electrical systems that enable the flow of electricity between two points. They are fundamental in switches, relays, connectors, and other electrical devices. Contacts must be made from materials that have high conductivity and are resistant to corrosion and wear.
Contacts are utilised in a wide range of applications, including household light switches, automotive relays, industrial control systems, and electronic devices.
Definition and Purpose
Spring-loaded pins, also known as pogo pins, are a type of electrical contact characterised by a spring mechanism that ensures constant pressure against the mating surface. This feature makes them perfect for applications requiring a reliable, repetitive connection.
Generally used in test and measurement equipment, charging contacts for electronic devices, and in modular systems where frequent disconnection and reconnection are required.
Pressure contacts rely on mechanical force to maintain an electrical connection. Unlike soldered or screwed connections, these are formed by pressing two conductive surfaces together, often with a clamping mechanism.
Pressure contacts find use in battery terminals, modular electronic components, and in applications where quick and easy assembly or disassembly is beneficial.
