Contacts / SpringsContacts and springs are commonly used in electronic assemblies to establish and maintain electrical connections. Contacts are typically made of conductive materials, such as gold or silver, and are used to establish a physical connection between two or more components. Springs are typically made of metal and are used to apply pressure to a contact, ensuring that it remains in contact with the component it is connected to. Together, contacts and springs are used in a variety of electronic devices, from simple switches and connectors to more complex assemblies such as printed circuit boards and connectors.
