Contact springs offer long life

An Abssac product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 7, 2007

Abssac's servometer bellows type contact springs are manufactured from electrodeposited nickel and then are gold plated to enhance their conductivity.

In electronic devices, certain components may require one or more spring contacts to achieve reliable electrical connection.

Abssac's electroformed products meet this need.

Using a bellows spring contact, the electrical connection can become a nonpermanent connection, particularly when the parts are to be inserted, removed and re-inserted.

The two types of spring contacts best suited for these applications are gold-plated wire mesh cylinders and gold-plated miniature metal bellows.

These are available as standard stock items or can be custom made.

Abssac's servometer bellows type contact springs are manufactured from electrodeposited nickel and then are gold plated to enhance their conductivity.

They are both flexible and dynamic and are designed to provide a lifetime of reliable interconnection.

Furthermore, they can help overcome tolerance build-up and thermal expansion problems in critical assemblies.

Typical applications include diodes, delay lines, wave guide components and printed circuit boards.
