Palladium
Palladium is a precious metal that can be used in technical coatings. In the case of Contact Probes, palladium is particularly important where contact surfaces must be able to withstand mechanical stress, be resistant to wear, and provide reliable conductivity.
In printed circuit board testing, a palladium content in the coating can help make the surface of the contact tip more resistant to wear and contamination. This supports reliable contact at challenging test and solder points, such as those with oxide layers, flux residues, or contaminants.
In the Progressive Series, palladium is a component of the Progressive coating. In combination with steel pistons, increased spring preload, and suitable Tip styles, this coating ensures a robust contact tip and stable contact under challenging test conditions.
FAQ
Palladium can contribute to the durability of a coating and help protect the contact tip against mechanical stress.
A palladium content can enhance the mechanical strength of the contact tip and help ensure stable contact under difficult test conditions.
In PCB testing, contact tips must withstand many test cycles and challenging surfaces. A suitable coating can help reduce wear and buildup.
