PRODUCT INFORMATION Flatsockets with springwire technology For many components and assemblies, simple low-cost flat contacts or square pins are used. These kinds of connectors have not been created with a focus on a high number of mating cycles, as they are only demated for servicing. But for the quality control during the serial production high mating cycles are needed. The ODU SPRINGTAC® Flatsocket with springwire technology is the perfect, long-lived counterpart for testing purposes. Its low, stable resistance values make it suitable for sensitive measuring tasks as well as for the testing...
