Spring Contact Test Probes

Spring Contact Test Probes are equipment which is used as test connector-cable systems. These equipment create an electrical connection between the object to be tested and the testing system. Primarily deployed for electrical testing of connectors, printed circuit boards, cables, and various other electrical components and assemblies these instruments prove instrumental in the connection between two electrical circuits or boards.

These contact probes are made up of a tubular barrel, a spring and a plunger. There are many varieties of tip styles and different spring pressures that ensure the best contact with the test surface. Spring contact probes are suitable for all contacting in two terminal measurements which does not require tolerance compensation. 


•    Small initial outlay
•    Contact can be changed quickly
•    Ideally suited for signal lines and currents
•    Contact Spacing from 0.4 mm
•    Low maintenance costs
•    Available with floating mounting on request
•    Extensive standard product range.

These probes are available for various applications:

Used as a threaded probe to provide a secure fit. Used for the test of wire harnessing.

Used for high current applications and designed for very small probe resistance.
These probes can be used as special probes with integrated switch elements, mainly used for presence.


Radio frequency probes – Special spring contact probes are used to transmit high-frequency signals. These probes have an inner conductor for the transmission of the signal and an outer conductor for shielding.
