Threaded switch probe copes with lateral forces
The new P888/G from Peak Test Services is a normally open threaded switch probe incorporating an integrated ball as the contact element at the top of the plunger.
This probe can be used in applications involving lateral forces without any reduction of its life cycle. It can also be used in airtight modules or vacuum test fixtures. The switch element inside the threaded probe is electrically isolated from the probe body to provide a voltage-free system.
The P888/G is available in two different size ranges, with projection heights of 16.7-18.2 mm and 12.0-14.3 mm, respectively. Maximum switching current is 1.0 A, and typical probe resistance is 25 milliohms.
