Collar diameter
The collar diameter describes the dimension of a circumferential shoulder on a Contact Probe or receptacle and is specified in mm.
The collar diameter is an important parameter for mechanical design and influences positioning, the limitation of insertion depth, and mechanical support within the Test Fixture.
A precisely defined collar diameter ensures that Contact Probes or Receptacles are correctly positioned and guarantees stable and reproducible contact.
FAQ
A correctly designed collar diameter ensures precise positioning and prevents misalignment or mechanical instability in the Test Fixture.
The collar diameter determines the contact area within the Test Fixture and thus influences the mechanical stability of the Contact Probe. A sufficiently large contact area reduces stress peaks and increases the Lifetime of the Contact Probe.
The collar diameter defines the contact surface in the Test Fixture and thereby limits the insertion depth of a Contact Probe. A correctly designed collar ensures that components are positioned precisely and are not inserted too deeply.
