The 050/LT/B2 is a SNAPLOX? Printed Circuit Test Point for towed sonar arrays and rolling stock electronics equipment. The Snaplox? concept enables highly accurate testing to be done whilst reducing the risk of board damage. This is due to the unique ball and socket arrangement which provides 8 points of low resistance contact through a 60° connection angle. Beyond this 60° the socket disconnects with ease preventing stress to the pin and board. The standard finishes are palladium or Gold plated pin and PTFE insulated silver-plated socket to give a robust, long life, low contact resistance test point system. They are available with a range of PCB (surface mount, Kinky pin and Snale) and chassis mounting (Barb Cone-Lock) retention mechanisms to suit most applications and bespoke styles can be manufactured as needed due to our in-house, high precision machining capabilities.
Award winning kinematic design allows rapid connection/disconnection
High retention force with socket (at <30°) & 8-point contact ensures low contact resistance
Low detachment force with socket (at >30°) reduces risk of inadvertent damage to PCB during test
Surface mount, self retaining and straight shank designs are available
