Barrel
The barrel is the outer body of a Contact Probe. It guides the Plunger, houses the Spring, and ensures mechanical stability as well as defined electrical properties. At the same time, it protects the internal components and ensures precise guidance and reliable operation of the Contact Probe in the Test Fixture or test system.
FAQ
A precise internal guide ensures smooth movement of the Plunger and thus a reproducible spring force.
Typically, high-strength copper alloys or brass are used in their application, often with electroplated coatings to improve wear resistance and electrical properties.
It protects the internal components, reduces mechanical wear, and thus contributes to a high cycle count and long-term stable contacting.
