CONTACT TECHNOLOGY
MIL CONTACTS
INTRODUCTION
PRECI-DIP has tapped its unique expertise and tested know-how
to develop new MIL socket contacts based on the clip technology.
Two socket contact technologies are available:
hooded contacts using the reversed clip and hoodless contacts using
the Eagle Grip clip.
These contacts have successfully passed all the qualification
tests according to AS39029 and are listed on the QPL.
We are also manufacturing the corresponding
precision-machined pin contacts.
HOODED CONTACTS USING THE REVERSED
CLIP PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
CONTACT DESIGN
The contact consists of three parts, separately manufactured
and made of different base materials. This design allows to
optimise the performance and to select the most appropriate
production process individually:
• Contact body made of machined brass
• Reversed clip made of stamped and formed
beryllium-copper
• Protection hood made of deep-drawn stainless
steel
Separate electroplating processes of body and clip allow the best
cost-performance ratio. The assembly of the three parts is then
carried out on dedicated, fully automatic assembly lines.
Reversed clip contacts are presently available in size 12, 16,
20 and 22. This proprietary technology, entirely developed by
PRECI-DIP, is protected by international patents.
ADVANTAGES AND CHARACTERISTICS
In comparison with the traditional slotted
contact body, the reversed clip design has
several advantages:
• Smaller difference between insertion and extraction force
• Reduced dispersion of the force values
• Better redundancy at the level of the contact point, thanks
to 6 or 8 contact fingers
