  • Publication number: 20220317154
    Abstract: The invention relates to a contact device (1) for contacting an electrical contact point of a test object, comprising a contact plunger (3), which has a plunger shaft (4) for mounting in a guide sleeve (2) in an axially displaceable manner as well as a contact head (5) which is assignable to the test object and arranged on a free end of the plunger shaft (4), and comprising at least one contact element (13), which is movably mounted on and/or in the contact head (5), whereby at least one spring element (6), which is elastically deformable against its spring force by means of the contact element (13) under a load resulting from a contact, is assigned to the contact element (13).

  • Patent number: 11360119
    Abstract: A contact pin, in particular a spring contact pin, comprising a test head for contacting an electrically conductive contact surface of a test object, in particular a wafer, a printed circuit board or the like, and comprising a pin sleeve, in which the test head is mounted with a guide end in a longitudinally displaceable manner. At least in some sections, a flexible, deformable/deformed circuit carrier is provided, on which at least one electrical/electronic component is arranged and which is or can be axially inserted into the pin sleeve by rolling and/or folding.

  • Patent number: 10775416
    Abstract: A method for producing a contact spacing converter space transformer) which has electrical contacts that form electrical paths and in which a first contact spacing of the contacts is converted into a comparatively different, second contact spacing of the electrical contacts including producing at least one base part from each of at least some of the electrical contacts. At least a section of the base part is produced from plastic. The method subsequently includes metallization of at least the section of the base part that is produced from plastic.

  • Publication number: 20200116757
    Abstract: A contact module for making electrical tactile contact with a component includes a carrier having a contact side assignable to the component and a connection side facing away from the contact side, with at least two electrically conductive contact elements, of which at least one is a spring contact pin with a spring-loaded contact head, wherein free ends of the contact elements protrude from the contact side of the carrier for the purpose of making tactile contact with the component. At least one protective wall is disposed on the contact side of the carrier, the wall forming at least one contact space in which the free ends of the contact elements are disposed.

  • Patent number: 10611139
    Abstract: A method for producing at least one spring contact pin acting as an electrical contact, or a spring contact pin arrangement comprises at least one such spring contact pin. The following steps are provided: producing at least one base part of the spring contact pin, at least one section of said base part being made of plastic, and subsequently metallizing at least the section of the base part that is made of plastic. The invention also relates to a spring contact pin produced to according to said method, or a spring contact pin arrangement having at least one such spring contact pin.
