Tip style diameter

The tip style diameter refers to the outer diameter of the contact tip of a Contact Probe and is specified in millimeters (mm).

The tip style diameter influences the contact area, force distribution during contact, and suitability for different test points and surfaces.

A properly selected tip style diameter ensures stable, precise, and reproducible contact in the Test Fixture.

FAQ

It determines how the Contact force is distributed and influences the contact quality as well as the suitability for different test points and surfaces.

An optimally selected diameter ensures even force distribution and stable contact conditions, and reduces the risk of damage or poor contact.

The tip style diameter is selected based on the geometry, size, and nature of the test point. Smaller diameters are suitable for fine structures and high packing densities, while larger diameters provide a larger contact area and better force distribution on rougher surfaces.
