Alps Alpine's spring contacts are electrical contacts with spring characteristics and a double-spiral structure (floating structure) allowing them to maintain contact even when there are vibrations and impacts, ensuring an appropriate stroke and contact load.
With compact 1.4 – 1.45mm square dimensions, they support automatic mounting.

Difference to a Regular Connector Connection

Advantages Over Conventional Connector Connection

Spring contacts offer the following advantages over conventional regular connector connection.

①Smaller, slimmer end products

Removing connectors and cables reduces size and thickness.

②No cables adds value

③Improvements in end product assembly

Assembly is improved by reducing connector joining and hand soldering processes.

④Simple board wiring

Wiring is simple as patterns do not need to be drawn around to the connector position.
