Low-Profile Spring-Loaded Contacts

Preci-Dip has developed low-profile versions of spring-loaded contacts for space-constrained applications. In many electronic devices and equipment space is at a premium, making a short contact height critical for integration into any application.

Low-profile spring-loaded contacts can be particularly useful in applications such as wearable technology, compact and handheld medical devices, and a variety of portable electronics. They can also be used in automotive applications where space is limited, such as in the dashboard or engine compartment.

The use of low-profile spring-loaded contacts in these applications allows for a reliable electrical connection to be made without taking up a significant amount of space. This is important as the trend towards miniaturization of electronic devices continues, and the demand for smaller and more compact devices grows.

Low-profile contacts are key for board-to-board connections as the distance between PCB’s continues to decrease.

Features

• High precision: contacts are manufactured using Swiss high-precision machining processes, resulting in contacts with very tight tolerances, ensuring reliable electrical connections
• Longevity: machined contacts are durable and have a long field life, as they are made from high-performance materials that can withstand a large number of mating cycles and harsh environmental conditions
• Wearable medical devices: continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), hearing aids, or smart inhalers
• Industrial equipment: robotics, control systems, and test and measurement equipment
• Automotive electronics: infotainment systems located on the dashboard or center console for audio and video as well as communication functions
• Consumer electronics: docking stations for any personal peripherical devices or wireless products that need to be recharged
