Short Travel & Battery Probes

Battery Probes, also called Short Travel Probes, are used as battery chargers, in the lighting industry, in the medical sector and in all those sectors where there is a very small and limited space for the application.

The competitive advantage of Tecon is that we can follow the production cycle of the Spring Contact Probes from beginning to end, thus having the ability to customize every aspect of the construction of our Battery Probes and to ensure the perfect functioning of each product thanks to the attention and precision that we devote to each phase.

Current rating

The range of Battery Probes we produce works with a current ranging from 3A to 20A, as we have a wide range of products for various sectors.

Typical contact resistance

Dimensions, manufacturing characteristics, materials and galvanic treatments define the resistance of our Battery Probes which does not exceed 50 mΏ.

Materials and Finish of Battery Probes

The materials used to make our Battery Probes are:

For the barrel

Brass gold plated.

For the spring

Music wire, gold plated.

For the plunger

BeCu, bronze or brass, gold plated.

Type of Battery Probes

The Battery Probe or Short Travel Probes can be divided into two types:

Battery Probes with receptacle

behaving like a normal Spring Contact Probes, it is installed inside a special receptacle, which in turn is mounted on a board. The advantage of using this type of Battery Probes is that it can be used once the work cycles have been completed. In fact, its replacement is quick and easy.

We would like to emphasize that we, at Tecon, are very careful to manufacture Battery Probes making sure that the soldering iron can not enter the barrel by capillarity.
