Spring Contacts
Surface Mount flexible connection options
Make a simple connection or get your PCB grounded with a Harwin Spring Contact – a single-piece metal connection point with inherent spring properties.
Spring contacts are also known by other names such as Shield Fingers, Antenna Contacts or Grounding Contacts, depending on the end application. Take advantage of the small sizes for antenna feeds in mobile devices, LED lamp connections, grounding metal elements or single signal connections.
Purchase these contacts from stock throughout the Harwin distributor network. Place them on your PCB with automated SMT machinery, straight from the tape & reel packaging; simple assembly and low production costs.
