B-3 Precious Metal Spring Contacts


Fine slit pattern. Aid to product miniaturization.
Multi-wire brush contacts consist of fine wires in parallel bunches which provide high contact reliability. Moreover, brushes can reliably read electrical signals from fine patterned substrates, thereby achieving miniaturized circuitry. Scratch brush contacts can keep stable contact resistance, even after long use.

Multi-wire Brush Contacts
Features
Sliding type provides high contact reliability.
Spring materials for low torque operation.
Use of spring materials gives stable contact pressure.
Can be made smaller than other contact systems.

Slip Rings
We manufacture rotor type, precision grade slip rings in response to the high degree of contact reliability and confidentiality demanded in the field of aircraft instrumentation.

Features
Each ring is connected to a lead wire of a different color .
Lead wires are formed of leads and epoxy resin using our own unique process.
