Contact springs

Contact springs: Perfect in conductive function

Contact springs are specialized spring components that are used in electrical and electronic applications. They ensure a reliable electrical connection between two components and compensate for mechanical tolerances. Contact springs are usually made of conductive material, such as gold-plated copper, bronze or spring steel with coatings to ensure optimum electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.

We develop and manufacture contact springs that meet your exact requirements - from batch size 1 to large-scale production, transforming your products into smart components, assemblies and devices.
