Frequently asked questions

What Types of Springs Are Used in the Electronics Industry?

We produce an extensive range of springs for use in electronic applications, including:

Compression Springs: A widely used spring type, found in components such as relays, motors, switches, electrical connectors, assemblies, and for shock absorption purposes.

Tension Springs: Also referred to as extension springs, these are utilised in battery mechanisms, contact points, actuators, and other systems that require a pulling force.

Torsion Springs: Torsion springs are commonly used in switches, latches, component assemblies, electrical contacts, and other devices that require rotational force.

Wave Springs: Thanks to their compact design, wave springs are perfect for applications where space is limited, such as valve actuators, electrical connectors, and pump seals.

Wire Forms and Pressings: Wire forms offer flexible shaping options, making them ideal for use in electrical and lighting components, as well as cable guides, grounding, and component spacing.

What Design Factors Should I Consider When Ordering Electrical Springs or Stampings?

Before you confirm your order, it’s important to take the following key considerations into account:

Material Selection

Select materials that provide good conductivity and resistance to corrosion, ensuring they are compatible with your intended application.

Size & Load Requirements

Check that each component aligns with your product’s mechanical and electrical specifications.

Dimensions & Installation Fit

Ensure accurate measurements for length, width, thickness, and spacing. Proper sizing prevents deformation, maintains stability, and supports seamless integration into your system.

Mounting Constraints

Consider how the part will be installed or secured during assembly, ensuring it is compatible with both manual and automated installation methods.

Surface Finish

Include suitable coatings or plating’s to enhance conductivity, corrosion protection, and performance, tailored to the specific operating environment.
