Built to perform with ECT's legendary durability ECT's full line of contactors demonstrate excellent mechanical performance to compliment electrical performance. The outstanding mechanical performance of the contactors is assured by both design and by the materials used. The contactor insulator parts are made from Torlon 4203 which boast low CTE, high machinability, and excellent wear resistance.

The probe has a unique external stainless steel spring that facilitates stable operation in temperatures ranging from -50°C to 150°C. The large diameter external spring is designed to extend probe life with no change in force per unit deflection even after a million cycles at full travel.

The Bantam® probe tip geometry allows access to the solder ball while maintaining continuous electrical contact to the interface board. An additional advantage is that sharp edges, by their nature, discourage accumulation solder. This self-cleaning contact ensures tens of thousands of contacts with no maintenance. Tip configurations designed by ECT displace contact force over a large area of the solder ball, resulting in faint contact marks.
