TE Connectivity PCB Spring Contacts, also known as shield fingers or grounding springs, are versatile components used in various small PCB applications. These single-contact, surface-mountable connectors perform multiple functions, including antenna feeds, low-voltage electrical connections, and grounding or shielding. The spring fingers effectively prevent EMI noise and static caused by vibrating components like speakers, motors, and microphones. Available in heights ranging from 0.4mm to 7mm. These contacts occupy minimal PCB space and are compatible with standard soldering and pick-and-place equipment. This makes them ideal for grounding connections between devices and PCBs, as well as for simple stacking applications between primary and secondary PCBs.
