Sensor Flat Contact Systems

To prevent fretting corrosion TE Connectivity have developed a sensor receptacle contact. Integrated into the body is a spring, which is able to compensate the micro motions in all three space axis. Thanks to this spring, the resulting friction force depending on spring normal force and friction parameter is higher than the unmating force in axial direction, so that micro motions and fretting corrosion is hereby prevented. The sensor receptacle contact can be rapidly and economically crimped to wire by using hand tools resp. semi-automatic or fully-automatic tooling.

Sensor Flat Contact Systems

Key benefits

  • It can be applied in a single wired sealed and a non-waterproof design

  • Steel springs secure the secondary contact locking in the housing

  • The sensor receptacle contact is available in a tin plated and gold plated or silver plated version (only in the contact area)
