Manufacturer profiles associated with Test Socket/Contact Interface.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The initial contact resistance is specified as ≤50 mΩ, measured per IEC 60512-2. Lower resistance is better for signal integrity. Actual values may vary with model and application; verify with the manufacturer.
Contacts are typically made of beryllium copper or phosphor bronze, with gold over nickel plating (0.5–2.5 µm). The insulator is often high-temperature plastic such as PPS (polyphenylene sulfide). These materials are listed in the directory; confirm exact grades with the supplier.
The continuous operating temperature range is -40 to 125 °C, per IEC 60068-2-14. Solder reflow processes may exceed this range, so consider thermal limits during assembly.
The mechanical durability is rated at 100,000 to 500,000 cycles without failure, per IEC 60512-9. This depends on contact force and operating conditions; verify for your specific model.
