Electrical Conductivity
We are often asked regarding the electrical conductivity of our Spring Plungers. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide any reliable information on this topic as there are many factors in play. We recommend you study the specific material properties of the Spring Plunger component parts to make your own calculations - alternatively if in doubt, make a test application.
General Guidance
Manufacturing exactly to your specific requirements is also our strength. If you need a variation in spring pressure, plunger body or pin design we can assist with a special design item for volumes as low as 1,000 units.
