About Contact Probes (Spring Probes)
Contact probes (spring probes) are terminals for inspection equipment mainly used for inspection of various electronic components, semiconductor wafers, IC sockets, printed circuit boards, etc.
The contact probe (spring probe) is mainly composed of three parts called a spring, a barrel, and a plunger.
When the inspection of IC sockets is subdivided, there are two types, a test socket that measures electrical characteristics and a burn-in socket that measures reliability such as durability, and the performance required for the plunger differs.
In addition, it is necessary to select a suitable tip shape according to the material and shape of the inspection destination.
About Spring-loaded Connectors (Pogo Pin Connectors)
Spring-loaded Connectors (Pogo Pin Connectors) are used for connections between boards, power supply connections, and data communication connections.
Spring-loaded Connectors (Pogo Pin Connectors) consist of 3 parts: a spring, a barrel, and a plunger.
Regarding suitable applications, it is used as a connection terminal for camera lenses, batteries, in wearable terminals and for different types of modules. You can also find it as a charging terminal in built-in batteries.
Features of our Plunger products
We manufacture plungers by our original Cold Heading machines.
It is possible to propose mass productivity and cost reduction of plungers suitable for spring connectors and spring probes by increasing the processing speed per product without generating metal scraps by the ultra-fine heading that has been extremely advanced so far. is.
In addition, the plating is generally base Ni plating + Au plating. This is because Au plating is optimal because of the application environment where high corrosion resistance, high conductivity, and low contact resistance are required.
We manufacture plungers for probes, spring connectors, and pogo pins according to the customer's request, so please feel free to contact us.
