Lubrication
Lubrication refers to the targeted application of a lubricant within a Contact Probe to reduce friction between moving components. It supports the smooth movement of the Plunger, Spring, and Receptacle during contact.
In Contact Probes, proper lubrication is important to reduce mechanical wear and maintain stable plunger mobility over many touchdowns. Especially under demanding test conditions, it can help support the mechanical Lifetime and Repeatability of the contact process.
In PCB testing, lubrication interacts with contact force, tip style, coating, and the surface condition of the contact point. Proper design helps reduce friction, wear, and malfunctions in the Contact Probe.
FAQ
Lubrication refers to the use of a lubricant that facilitates the movement of the mechanical components in the Contact Probe.
Less friction can reduce mechanical wear and help ensure that the Contact Probe functions reliably over many touchdowns.
In the Progressive Series, lubrication is a technical feature that, together with coating, spring preload, and Tip style, contributes to the performance of the Contact Probe.
