Spring Travel
The spring force increases proportional to the spring travel. This linear function is shown in the force-travel-diagram. During the assembly of the probe the spring is already compressed by a certain travel. The resulting spring force is called preload. The preload makes sure that there is a certain force right from the beginning of the contacting process. Also it makes sure that the plunger is completely pushed back after the contacting. The nominal spring force is the spring force at the recommended working travel. The recommended working travel should not be exceeded significantly, because otherwise the life time of the probe could be considerably reduced.
Probes with use in a wide variety of industries for commercially available standard coax connectors such as:
- SMA, SMB, SMC
- QMA, BMA
- RF
- TNC
- SMP
