| 发明名称 | Spring-loaded contacts | ||
| 摘要 | Spring-loaded contacts having an improved reliability. One example may provide spring-loaded contacts having a reduced likelihood of entanglement between a spring and a plunger. For example, a piston may be placed between a plunger and a spring. The piston may have a head portion that is wider than the diameter of the spring and located between the spring and the plunger to isolate the spring and the plunger. In these and other examples, an additional object, such as a sphere, may be placed between the plunger and spring. In another example, two additional objects, such as two spheres, may be placed between a plunger and piston. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A spring-loaded contact for an electrical connector comprising: a barrel to form a housing for the spring-loaded contact; a plunger at least partially enclosed by the barrel, wherein a back of the plunger has an asymmetrically tapered surface; a spring enclosed by the barrel; and a piston having a curved head located between the back of the plunger and the spring and an elongated body substantially surrounded by the spring, wherein the head of the piston contacts the plunger at the back of the plunger. | ||
