Spade length
Spade length is specified in millimeters and refers to the length of a spade-shaped contact area at the tip of a Contact Probe. It influences the installation configuration, the effective contact area, and the contact behavior when the Probe makes contact with the Test Point. An appropriate spade length contributes to stable and reproducible electrical contact.
FAQ
A consistent and standardized spade length ensures uniform contact conditions and thus reproducible measurement results.
The spade length is closely matched to the Tip style and, together with it, determines the contact geometry and electrical behavior.
A longer spade blade distributes the spring force more evenly, while shorter versions can generate higher forces at specific points.
