Switching Probes are so-called “closing probes”, i.e. the interrupted circuit is closed when the plunger is activated. The plunger is pushed down past the actual switching point to provide the necessary contact force.

Application Examples:

* Presence-check of components on a PC-Board
* Presence-check of the PC-Board on the Test Fixture
* Compact switching unit for assembly in many areas
* Signal input for procedure check of moving items on automates and other machines
* Electro-less check with insulated tip (see section“Component Presence Check” following)

Receptacles for Switching Probes (KS-xxx S)
To simplify the changing of Switching Probes – especially in the case of maintenance – so-called “Exchangeable Receptacles” are available for the most common series (i.e. SKS-215 and SKS-415/465).

Advantages:

* One-off wiring of the Receptacle at the time of the customizing of the Test Fixture or Unit
* Insertion of the SKS from above (Test Fixture need not be opened)
* Reduction of the maintenance costs
* No wiring faults in the case of maintenance
