Contacts:

Contacts, or contact-type devices, are primarily used to in order to provide an electrical connection between two different electrical conductors or circuit components. They are made of a variety of substrates and use several different types of contact tips to facilitate the establishment of a conductive path between the two conductors. Each contact and its tip is designed to handle current levels and accelerate the rate at which a connection can be made without damaging either conductor or the contact. Contacts are often used in all types of applications from high power distribution to low power signal connections and can be found in nearly every electronic device on the market.

Spring Loaded and Pressure:

Spring Loaded and Pressure contacts are designed to close the electrical connection as quickly as possible. By using springs as part of the contact design, the contacts are able to open and close more quickly when compared to other contact types. This increased speed helps reduce heat buildup as well as allow for faster system operations. These contacts are often found on circuit breakers, relays, and switching devices.

The spring loaded and pressure contact connection method achieves its speed because of the pressure force generated when the contacts are closed. As a result, the current being routed through the contacts is forced through with greater force than with more traditional contact designs. This increased force can be adjusted by changing the spring and pressure settings on the contact and by adjusting the gap and angle of the contact tips. Adjustments of this kind help increase the mechanical lifespan of the contact as well as reduce electrical noise.

Spring loaded and pressure contacts offer a great deal of versatility and reliability in an electrical connection. The contacts are durable and easy to maintain, and can be used in a variety of applications. They are best suited for high voltage applications because of their ability to open/close quickly and increase the amount of current that can be routed through the contact while still providing reliable connections.
