At the heart of Plastronics’ technology is the H-Pin contact, providing the mechanical and electrical benefits of a traditional barreled spring probe with the cost savings and process control of a fully automated stamping and assembly manufacturing, thus reducing the cost of test.

The H-Pin is unique in that it can go from raw material to insertion into the plastic insulator in a fully automated environment without any human intervention. This process ensures the highest product quality, with a productivity that cannot be achieved with traditional spring probe manufacturing methods.

The H-Pin is a stamped spring probe pin made from the assembly of three components: two beryllium copper stampings and one stainless steel would spring.
