Contacts, Spring Loaded and Pressure

The type of contact used for 807-22-001-30-001101 is a spring loaded and pressure contact. These types of contacts are made from conducting, non-magnetic materials, which are highly resistant to wear and corrosion. They are designed to provide reliable electrical connections in applications requiring high frequency signal transmission.

Working Principle

The spring loaded and pressure contacts are designed to work on a principle of compressibility. When a force is applied to the contact, it compresses the spring inside, increasing the pressure on the contact surface. This pressure allows the contact to become more conductive, increasing the reliability of the connection.

The contact is usually made of a conducting material at one end and a non-conducting material, such as a molded plastic or rubber, at the other. A spring is placed between the two materials, which is then compressed by the force of the applied pressure. This creates a connection point between the two materials, allowing the current to flow.

Application Field

Spring loaded and pressure contacts are particularly well-suited to applications where high current, high voltage, and/or high frequency are required. They are commonly used in automotive electronics, industrial automation, military avionics, and medical equipment.

In automotive electronics, spring loaded and pressure contacts are used as switches in engine control units, brakes, and other complex systems. In military avionics, they are used in wing-level control systems, air refueling systems, and other high-reliability equipment. In medical equipment, they are used in MRI scanners, X-ray machines, and other sensitive devices.

Spring loaded and pressure contacts are also widely used in telecommunications and audio equipment. The contact surface is designed to prevent wear and maintain a consistent connection even after repeated use.
