Harwin SMT Spring Contacts

SMT spring contacts

Harwin’s range of SMT Spring Contacts allow for flexibility when creating electrical and grounding connections. With many configurations and working heights, Spring Contacts are the perfect solution when space constraints are an issue. Ideal for blind mating and tolerant to both wiping and sliding actions. Provided on tape and reel for automated assembly and low production costs.

Spring contacts are available in a variety of configurations to provide an array of benefits. Antenna contacts with a positive stop feature prevent over-stressing and permanent set of the component. Multidirectional contacts allow for vertical or horizontal use. The box style design prevents twist and snagging of the free end. C shape designs allow for simple and effective contact with metal shields or frames.
