Spring Fingers

TE Connectivity's spring fingers (also known as shield fingers, grounding springs, universal ground contacts, or antenna clips) can be used in all types of small printed circuit board (PCB) applications across multiple industries. A spring finger is a single-contact, surface-mountable internal connector with multiple functions on a PCB. Spring fingers can be used for antenna feeds, low-voltage electrical connections, and grounding or shielding. They are beneficial in minimizing EMI noise and static caused by speakers, motors, microphones, or a variety of other types of connectors that can cause vibration within an application. TE Connectivity has a wide variety of spring fingers with industry-leading specifications to address customers' needs.

Features

• Product footprint: 1.7 mm²
• The close-loop contact design ensures a reliable connection to the PCB, better normal force (0.7 N min), and higher current capacity (1.5 A)
• A special anti-lifting design improves assembly efficiency by locking the tip of the contact within the sidewall of the spring finger, helping to prevent the contact from catching during installation
• Pick-and-place area supports the auto-assembly process
