Spring force
Spring force describes the mechanical force generated by a spring when compressed or released and is expressed in centinewtons (cN) or newtons (N). In contact technology, it is a critical parameter because it determines the contact pressure between the contact tip and the Test Point, thereby significantly influencing electrical contact quality, signal stability, and transition resistance.
FAQ
Determined by the spring design, material properties, and the defined stroke of the Contact Probe.
Spring force generally increases with increasing stroke in accordance with the spring characteristic curve (e.g., linear or progressive) and thus determines the force curve during contact.
At high cycle rates, it affects the contact behavior, bounce, and response speed of the Contact Probe.
