Spring-loaded electrical contact pins are mechanical components used to make electrical connections between two mating parts with a specific force to ensure a reliable and stable connection.
They consist of a barrel or housing that contains a spring and a conductive pin or plunger. As the two mating parts come together, the spring compresses, pushing the pin against the surface of the mating part and creating an electrical connection.
When the mating parts separate, the spring expands and pulls the pin back, preventing damage to the contact surfaces. These contact pins are commonly used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and telecommunications, where high reliability and consistent performance are crucial.
