High-current Test Probes (HSS)

In the case of high-current Test Probes, the plunger is split in two sections. During the stroke movement, the two plunger sections are deflected away from each other in the radial direction. This leads to the enlargement of the contact zones, i.e. the signal transfer areas. This then allows higher currents to be applied.

Alternatively to this standard high-current Test Probe design, such Test Probes with a continuous plunger (i.e. with a tail-end on the plunger) can also be used.

Due to the direct signal flow, this design provides a very constant and stable low resistance. However, when using such a design, it must be taken into consideration that the cable (which is connected to the tail-end of the plunger) is constantly under stress due to the movement. This handicap is also still apparent even when using highly flexible, braided cable.
