An external spring probe is provided having a first section 120 and a second section 122 which extend and compress relative to each other. The first section consists of a tip 124 at one end and a first contact component 128 opposite the tip. A flange 126 extends radially outward between the tip and the first contact component. The second section consists of a tip 124 at one end and a second contact component 128 opposite the tip. The second contact tip is in contact with the first contact tip. A flange 126 extends radially outward between the second section tip and the second contact component. A spring 16 is sandwiched between the two flanges surrounding the two contact components. The first and second contact components remain in contact with each other during compression and extension of the two sections. <IMAGE> |
