A contact concept that inspires. The Industrial Micro-MaTch contact concept is essentially different from other systems available. By its design, the traditional failure mode in tinplated connections, fretting corrosion, is prevented. The separation of the two basic functions of the contact system (contact force generation and wire termination), enables the optimization of both functions and leads to relatively simple contact shapes. High reliability is not only depending on its design, but also on the choice of copper with the optimal charateristics to ensure the working of the spring contact. In contrast with this, the Value-line is made from more cost effective materials which do not ensure the same performance, but behaving well in less demanding environments. The main advantage can be found in the price.
