• Low resistance spring-loaded contacts with shaped piston
• High-reliable contacts with clip. This contact design is protected by international patents

• Very long life time
• Many types of terminations available (see page Introduction)
• Small dimensions for use in applications with limited space (min. contact height 3 mm, min. contact diameter 1 mm)
• Very good resistance to shocks and vibrations
• Best adapted where conventional connection solutions cannot satisfy the application requirements:
In case of important positioning tolerances of the connectors parts
For compensation of errors of parallelism and flatness
To make connection with pivoting, rotating or non parallel mating movement
For connections with sliding mating action (push and lock)
