Palladium Alloy Pin Probe Description
Palladium Alloy Pin Probe (Pd-Ag-Cu) is a specially designed contact component made from an alloy of palladium, silver, and copper. This combination ensures a high level of performance in the production of probe tips, which are widely used for electrical testing, semiconductor probing, and other precision measurement applications.
The palladium (Pd) in the alloy provides outstanding corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in harsh environments where other metals might degrade over time. Silver (Ag) offers exceptional electrical conductivity, ensuring that the probe tips created from this material deliver fast and accurate electrical transmission. Copper (Cu) contributes to the overall strength of the pin probe and helps reduce the overall cost of the material, making it a more affordable option compared to pure palladium or silver.
