Pitch
Pitch is a technical term from the field of electrical testing and contact technology. It has application in industrial testing to clearly describe materials, components, contact parameters, or test characteristics. The term is used in the development, design, and evaluation of contact solutions, as well as in automated testing processes where reliability, reproducibility, and process safety are crucial.
FAQ
Typical pitch dimensions range from several millimeters for standard connectors to fine-pitch pitches in the range of a few hundred or even a few tens of micrometers for highly integrated components.
Small grid dimensions increase the requirements for positioning accuracy, contact pin geometry, and manufacturing tolerances. In addition, the risk of short circuits or contact crosstalk increases, which necessitates a precise design of the contact solution.
With small pitches, minimal misalignments or uneven spring forces have a greater effect. This can lead to increased wear, which is why pitches, material selection, and spring mechanics must be coordinated.
