Life Cycle Test of Contact Probes
The life cycle of spring contact probes is depending on the design of the probes as well as on the operating conditions in the field. High lateral forces, high current load and contamination may lead to a significantly reduced lifetime of the probes.
For us as manufacturer of these probes, it is vital to permanently control and review the quality parameters and to analyse the lifetime performance of our products. In our own laboratory we have various test and measurement setups for quality control and for the determination of technical parameters during research and development. One important subject is the life cycle test, conducted with seven autonomous stress stages. The test conditions provide an internal standard reference that allows competent statements regarding the life cycles of our probes.
