Spring Loaded Contacts - back fitment

A range of spring loaded contacts whose fitment method is from behind the plastic moulding or housing.
A collar is found at the back end of the spring contact. This acts as a stop enabling the spring contact to be mounted at a set position. A barb is often used midway down the barrel to permanently hold the spring contact in position once fitted.

The movie shows a typical installation using the PD10JS spring contact and the IPP2S contact land.

 

Our smallest spring contact series in the back fitment section, with a minimum center spacing of just 2.2mm.

For use in low power, battery charging applications including:

  • headsets
  • belt worn devices
  • body cams
  • ankletags
  • smart watches
