ITT ICS’s new Universal GPS contact is a 1.8mm dry circuit pressure contact, which when mated and deflected, maintains true contact beam positioning with no conductivity to the side walls, maintaining signal length and wave integrity. Importantly, contact mating force is 0.3N, with 0.1mm of beam movement.
This low-cost, robust contact allows complete freedom of board positioning and features a domed contact mating point and side wings. It is a single piece stamped and formed BeCu contact, with a deflection of 0.9mm and free height of 1.8mm. Its X-Y-Z movement facilitates robust antenna connection.
