CLIP TECHNOLOGY IN SPRING LOADED CONTACTS SPRING LOADED CONTACTS A flexible solution for your connections Spring Loaded Contacts are really useful: they facilitate blind mating requirements, are more tolerant to misaligned and non-coplanar mating conditions, and are capable of achieving up to one million mating cycles. Accepts important positioning tolerances of the connectors Compensates errors of parallelism and flatness Connects surfaces nonperpendicular to the contact axis Connects pivoting or rotating elements Connects with sliding mating action (push & lock) Suitable for blind mating STANDARD OR CLIP DESIGN Comparison between two main technologies in spring loaded contacts PRECI-DIP Spring Loaded Contacts With an Integrated CLIP Spring Loaded Contacts With Standard design Rigid Sliding Piston Fixed body Rigid Sliding Piston Contact point between two rigid Flexible Contact point Multi-Finger elastic clip Fixed body Rigid contact point will disconnect under shock and vibration conditions. This solution is only suitable in static-mode and low current applications. An integrated Multi-Finger elastic clip establishes a reliable and efficient multi point connection between body and piston. Flexible contact is compliant to shock and vibration up to 2000Hz or more, and currents up to 20A.
