Spring-loaded test probes can be used directly in assemblies or on PC boards in addition to classic test purposes, such as in the ICT /FCT test fields. Therefore, INGUN probes can be used for a wide variety of test applications.
Short-stroke probes (GKS) are often used as charging and transfer probes in battery chargers. These test probes stand out due to their extremely compact design, as well as a low installation height in combination with a high spring force. The short-stroke probes can also be installed with a receptacle to enable easy exchange. Due to the extremely short design, exchange solutions for probes installed directly on the PC board can also be realised without difficulty.
1. Short stroke test probes charge and transfer - Test probe as contact element
Solderable probes (GKS) are soldered directly into PC boards without the need for receptacles. These probes can be used in similar applications as the short-stroke probes, for example, signal and current transmission within an assembly. When soldering the probes, care should be taken to ensure the test probe does not overheat during the soldering process in order to avoid damage to the spring.
