Custom spring contacts for PCBs

Spring contacts for PCBs from FIXTEST are available in a wide range of designs, lengths, and pitches. They can be configured for signal and power transmission and can be precisely adapted to your PCB geometry. This ensures a reliable connection between modules, plug-in cards, and test points, even in confined spaces.

Our spring contacts for PCBs are available for both THT (Through-Hole Technology) and SMT (Surface-Mount Technology) assembly. This enables easy integration into existing assembly and soldering processes.

Depending on the application, different tip geometries and spring forces are available. The spring-loaded design ensures long service life and a high number of mating cycles with consistently low contact resistance. This results in robust PCB contact solutions that guarantee stable electrical connections over time.

Application areas of our PCB spring contacts

Wide range of applications

Spring contacts for PCBs are used across many key industries, including telecommunications, industrial automation, medical technology , automotive, and aerospace. They ensure reliable, detachable connections in control units, sensor and measurement modules, modular assemblies, user interface and display units, as well as battery contacts .

They are also widely used in test fixtures and test systems, where PCB spring contacts provide stable contacting even under frequent mating cycles.

Battery & charging contacts

Spring contacts for PCBs ensure a reliable connection between battery modules, charging units, sensors, and other PCB modules. The spring-loaded contacting via spring contact pins compensates for tolerances, vibrations, and slight misalignments, while maintaining consistently low contact resistance over many mating cycles.

This makes PCB spring contacts ideal for mobile devices, wearables, industrial controllers, and docking stations.

Industrial automation

In production systems with frequent changeovers, format adjustments, or module replacements, PCB spring contacts provide a fast and reusable connection solution. Assemblies, sensor arrays, or I/O modules can be connected and disconnected without the need for complex mating of conventional connectors.

The spring-loaded contacting compensates for tolerances and remains reliable even under vibrations or repeated installation and removal. This enables PCB spring contacts to support flexible production concepts, maintenance processes, and test setups without compromising contact quality.

Advantages of spring contacts for PCB connections

Durability

We offer a wide range of spring contacts for PCBs. Electrical connections using pogo pins maintain high contact quality even after frequent mating and unmating, as the contact surfaces experience minimal wear due to the absence of withdrawal forces. In comparison, conventional connectors have a shorter service life. PCB spring contacts therefore represent a durable and reliable solution for a variety of applications.

Sustainability

Another advantage of our PCB spring contacts is their sustainability. At FIXTEST, we place great emphasis on product longevity, helping to reduce waste and conserve resources. In addition, our customers benefit from our extensive product range, excellent consulting, and deep technical expertise. This combination of quality, service, and sustainable solutions makes our PCB spring contacts an excellent choice for demanding applications.

FIXTEST recycling program

FIXTEST offers a return and recycling program for spring contacts and test system components. Reusable parts are inspected and refurbished. All remaining components are processed through precious metal recycling. This reduces electronic waste and ensures transparency in compensation and processing.
