Spring Loaded Contacts - front fitment

A range of spring contacts which are fitted from the front of a plastic panel/housing.
A collar is found near the top end of the spring contact. This acts as a stop enabling the spring contact to be mounted at a set position. Some of the spring contacts in the range can be used with a receptacle which means that they can be removed without disconnecting the wiring.

A small spring contact, similar to the PD15JS. It has a solderpot for wire connection and a barb for retention in a plastic moulding.
