Characteristics and Applications of SMT Spring Contacts

Characteristics and Applications of SMT Spring Contacts
The trend of compact products nowadays has made it a norm for a scaled-down device to possess multiple functions, which poses challenges for manufactures to balance increasing capabilities and quality stability. The electromagnetic inference (EMI) generated by compacting electronic components within limited space alone could be a big design concern. Traditionally, EMI problem was solved by applying conductive foams, whose grounding and shielding effects could vary with different contact positions placed manually. In contrast, SMT spring contacts are made of plated metals which have better contact effects, and can withstand high temperature and high humidity. Its metal plating provides better protection against embrittlement and cracking after long-term use, and thus proves to be superior to conductive foams in terms of resistance to harsh environments.

Oscar Precision has launched a series of SMT spring contacts to enhance flexibility in electrical and grounding connections. Our SMT spring contacts can be connected vertically or horizontally, allowing simple and effective contact with metal shields or frames. Made of high-durable sheet metal in various thickness and widths, with many coating options for surface treatment, our SMT spring contacts are available in a wide range of working heights and shapes to satisfy any configuration needs. We also offer tape and reel packaging for automated assembly to lower production costs, providing a perfect solution to overcome space constraints.

SMT spring contacts are now widely used in our daily life devices or equipment in various industries. They can be seen in instruments such as control panels, environmental monitors, control stations, and process control equipment; or communication products such as PCB grounding, antenna connections, mobile and handheld devices. SMT spring contacts are also commonly applied in retailing business in RFID systems, display devices and POS tracking systems; or consumer products including IoT, wireless devices, home entertainment system, etc. Generally speaking, SMT spring contacts are primarily used for power connection in mobile phones, GPS, PDAs, and signal connection in antenna contacts of mobile phones, GPS, and PDA consumer electronics.

Oscar Precision has specialized in the manufacture of SMT spring contacts for years, with more than 300 types of standard stock items for immediate order and delivery. In response to different requirements of customers, we also accept customized design and manufacture.
