The new LED contact probe system is a complete solution for guiding operators:
- Guided insertion with LED indication of the correct cavity
- Electrical continuity test of the wire harness in the same operation step
Previous solutions are either based on pure fibre indication in the cavity, without allowing electrical tests, or on LED indication next to the cavity, which is much less effective in terms of guiding the operator, leading to a higher risk of wrong assemblies.
Advantages of the LED contact probe solution
Both functions (LED indication and contacting) are included in one contact element. This leads to correct connector assembly and allows electrical test in one process step.
Barrel : FEINMETALL barrels are usually made of nickel silver, bronze or brass. Nickel silver barrels are deep-drawn whereas barrels made of bronze are turned or deepdrawn and barrels of brass are turned. All barrels are usually silver or gold plated. A small hole in the bottom permits the barrels to be thoroughly cleaned during manufacturing and ensures continuous wetting in the plating process.
