YOU CAN FIND THE CORRESPONDING RECEPTACLE ON EACH CATALOG PAGE – SEE TEST PROBES

The Receptacle (KS) provides easy interchange of the Test Probe during maintenance and servicing of the Test Fixture. The exchange can be carried out fast and without any wiring work. To enable this, crimp points are applied to the side of the Receptacle. Note: the crimp points only function properly when the Receptacle has been inserted in the assembly hole. This means that pre-insertion of the Test Probe in the Receptacle is not possible!

A special feature of the ingun Receptacles of the newest generation is the so-called “INGUN-Profile”. This is a lengthwise crimp (applied either three or four times), which is positioned directly below the collar or press-ring of the Receptacle.

The Profile plays the following roles:

• Balances out differences of the drilled hole diameter
• Leads to a smooth insertion force of the Receptacle in the assembly hole
• Allows self-registration of the Receptacle and also prevents slanting
• Guides and centres the Test Probe
• Reduces the influence of the assembly hole on the securing force of the Test Probe

Normally, the “ingun-Profile” is combined with the “ingun Spiral Crimp”. This is a “4-Point Crimp”, which is applied to the lower end of the Receptacle in a spiral shape spread out over 360°.

This type of securing crimp ensures:

• Low and smooth insertion forces
• Smooth extraction forces of the Test Probe
• High flexibility and elasticity of the securing crimp points to increase the number of insertion cycles of the Test Probe

These excellent insertion and securing conditions derive from the fact that the various securing levels are gradually reached and the crimp points are only slightly malleably deformed. Subsequently, the final securing force of the Test Probe is only then achieved when the last crimp point has been reached.
