TE Connectivity Ultra-small spring fingers contacts

Spring fingers (also known as shield fingers, grounding springs, universal ground contacts or antenna clips) can be used in all types of small printed circuit board (PCB) applications across multiple industries. A spring finger is a single contact, surface mountable internal connector with multiple functions on a PCB. Spring fingers can be used for antenna feeds, low voltage electrical connections, and grounding or shielding. They are beneficial in minimizing EMI noise and static caused by speakers, motors, microphones or a variety of other types of connectors that can cause vibration within an application. TE Connectivtiy (TE) has a wide variety of spring fingers with industry leading specifications to address your needs.

Features
