Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a spring contact pin and a method of manufacturing a spring contact pin.
  • Spring contact pins, spring contacts or spring pins are contacting elements used for testing electronic components. Spring contact pins are also used in detachable electrical connectors.
  • the contact is generated by probing by means of a spring-assisted pin.
  • Other designations in the jargon include test pin, probe, spring-loaded contact, test pin or Pogo® pin.
  • the US 2013/0330983 A1 shows a spring contact pin with a sleeve, a spring, an insulating ball and a piston.
  • the EP 2 180 326 A1 shows a spring contact pin with a sleeve with a spring arranged in the sleeve; with a piston which is at least partially disposed in the sleeve; and with a contact element, which is at least partially disposed in the sleeve and which is adapted to contact the sleeve and / or the piston.
  • the US 7008270 B1 shows a spring contact pin.
  • the JP 2004129658 A shows a spring contact pin.
  • the EP 1 251 374 A2 shows a receptacle for a spring contact pin.
  • the JP 2000208344 A shows a spring contact pin.
  • the JP 2004252477 A shows a spring contact pin.
  • the US 2006/0051997 A1 shows a spring contact pin.
  • the US 5,151,040 shows a spring contact pin.
  • the JP 2008149624 shows a spring contact pin.
  • the WO 2006/025510 A1 shows a spring contact pin.
  • the WO 2013/055630 A1 shows a spring contact pin.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a spring contact pin with reduced passive intermodulation.
  • this object is achieved by a spring contact pin having the features of patent claim 1 and / or by a manufacturing method having the features of patent claim 6.
  • the contact element is designed as a circular ring with a bore and with angled contact tongues.
  • the spring and the piston are arranged within the annulus or the angled contact tongues.
  • the contact tongues are at least partially encased by the sleeve.
  • the piston has a step which is arranged to cooperate with a corresponding inner stop element of the sleeve in order to hold the piston in the sleeve. More preferably, the sleeve on an inner surface to the piston corresponding guide surfaces.
  • the contact element on latching elements which are adapted to lock with the sleeve.
  • the locking elements may be formed as claws.
  • the sleeve is made of plastic.
  • the spring contact pin 300 has a plastic sleeve 301, a fastening element 303, which is designed as a mandrel, a spring 305, a piston 307 and a contact element 311.
  • the plastic sleeve 301 has a stop element 319.
  • the stopper member 319 cooperates with a step 317 of the piston 307.
  • the stop member 319 prevents the piston 307 is pushed too far up by the spring 305.
  • the plastic sleeve 301 has three guide surfaces 321 for guiding the piston 307.
  • the guide surfaces 321 serve to guide the piston 307 during an axial movement.
  • the piston 307 is pressed in a hidden state by the spring 305 against the stop element 319 of the plastic sleeve.
  • the properties of the spring 305 in particular spring travel and spring hardness, are decisive for the insertion force of the spring contact 300 to be applied.
  • the spring travel of the spring contact pin 300 is approximately 1 mm.
  • the spring 305 is formed as a spiral spring, which is wound around the mandrel.
  • the piston 307 has a recess 328 corresponding to the spring 305. The piston 307 is placed on the recess 328 on the spring 305.
  • the fastening element 303 or the mandrel is guided through a recess 325 of the contact element 311.
  • the fastening element 303 forms a stop for the contact element 311.
  • the contact element 311 comprises a bottom region, which is designed as a circular ring, and contact tongues 313 integrally formed on the circular ring 315.
  • the circular ring 315 comprises the bore 325, which is dimensioned correspondingly to the mandrel.
  • the diameter of the circular ring is dimensioned such that the piston 307, the mandrel and the spring 305 are arranged radially inside the contact element 311.
  • the contact tongues 313 are bent radially inwardly at an upper portion to contact the piston 307. In this way, at the same time a tolerance compensation is provided by the contact tongues 313 will adapt to the contours of the piston 307 and to the inner contours of the sleeve 301.
