Abstract: A miniature low resistance telescoping spring probe includes telescoping tubular housing and inner plunger. Both the housing and plunger are elongated and of an electrically conductive material. The plunger has a probe head external to the housing. The inner wall of the housing and the outer wall of the plunger are engaged and concentric, providing a sliding electrical connection and a bearing therebetween. A coil compression spring urges the housing and plunger in longitudinally opposite directions. A separate low electrical resistance wiper spring member is affixed to the plunger. A substantially constant low resistance electrical connection is provided between the wiper spring member and the plunger. The wiper spring member has at least one longitudinally extending leg spring loaded outwardly into engagement with the inside wall of the housing.
