INGUN test probes are used across various industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, aviation, and telecommunications to ensure precise and repeatable testing of electronic assemblies.
Product Information: The catalogue provides detailed information on various types of test probes and receptacles, including their tip styles, design, and instructions for use. It covers different types of probes such as ICT/FCT, high current, pneumatic, and switching probes. Each product is identified by a unique part number that includes details about the probe version, tip style, diameter, spring force, and material.
Tip Styles: The document outlines various tip styles suitable for different test points like pads, vias, pins, and posts. It categorizes tips based on their aggressiveness and self-cleaning capabilities, recommending specific styles for clean or contaminated surfaces.
Design and Usage: The catalogue includes guidelines on the assembly, connection types, current load capacity, and operating temperature range of the test probes. It emphasizes the importance of selecting the right tip style and spring force for precise and reliable contacting.
Materials and Environmental Compliance: INGUN ensures that all materials used in their products comply with relevant environmental regulations, highlighting their commitment to sustainability.
Company Background: INGUN, founded in 1971, is a family business based in Germany, known for its precision and quality in testing solutions. The company has a global presence with subsidiaries and agencies worldwide, offering over 11,000 products online.
Conclusion: INGUN's catalogue serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting the appropriate test probes and accessories, ensuring high-quality testing solutions for various electronic applications.
Material Specifications: Brass is used for passive tip styles and machined barrels due to its high copper content, making it an excellent electrical conductor. However, it is too soft for aggressive tip styles. Steel is preferred for aggressive tip styles due to its hardness and durability. Beryllium Copper (BeCu) offers a balance between brass and steel, combining good conductivity with hardness. Nickel silver and bronze are used for receptacles and barrels, providing tensile strength and elasticity. High-quality spring steel is used for springs, with high-alloyed variants for extreme temperatures.
Plating Materials: Hard gold, chemical nickel, and rhodium are used for plating test probes. Hard gold offers chemical resistance and oxidation protection. Rhodium is abrasion-resistant but brittle, suitable for durable plunger tips. Chemical nickel provides chemical resistance and prevents contamination. Aurun, a gold-alloy, is used for aggressive tip styles on unwashed PC boards. All plating materials ensure reliable contact due to low resistance.
Environmental Compliance: INGUN complies with European Environmental Legislation, including RoHS, REACH, and others, ensuring protection of health and the environment. Official statements are available on their website.

Technical Information Product Information Choice of Suitable Tip Style The choice of suitable tip style is one of the most important factors in choosing the right test probe. Many of the tip styles can be used for several applications. A basic classification can be made with respect to the geometry of the test points such as pad, via, pin or posts. Furthermore, the test point can be differentiated by its size and surface condition (oxidised, clean or contaminated by residue from the soldering process). Depending on the DUT and test conditions, it may be necessary to try several tips styles and...

Recommended working stroke and maximum stroke Working Stroke Maximum Stroke When choosing a test probe for a particular application, the installation height, the choice of tip-style, and the required stroke of the test probe are decisive factors. In the home position, the test probe plunger is not activated, yet still has a certain pre-load; the beading then acts as a stop to prevent the plunger coming out of the barrel. The rated spring force is reached when the plunger is activated to the working stroke position. Depending on the series, this lies between 66% and 80% of the maximum stroke....
