Canted coil spring
manufacturer
Canted coil springs, sometimes called slant coil or slanted coil springs, are ideal for push-pull and snap-on connectors in holding, latching, and locking applications (Video 2). Engineers can customize the sizes, target plug-in & disengaging force, and maximize electric current capacity. The connector's removal force can be more than 10 times the insertion force in latching applications. The simplicity of a canted coil spring solution also translates into fewer components & materials, minimal assembly time, and lower overall costs.
The canted coil springs in the image below can all fit into the same spring groove. Yet this simple spring swap can result in significant force and/or electric capacity changes. This design advantage offers not only peace of mind but also the flexibility to modify the connector force without changing dimensions or appearance.
Swap canted coil springs to achieve different connecting force:

Video 2: Radial Spring Application
A connector with a radial iConnFlex™ canted coil spring provides a specific sliding force and electric current capacity. A circular spring can also fit into a rectangular groove.
iConnFlex™ Canted coil springs are sold in welded spring rings or in cut length, with wire diameters ranging from 0.1 mm (0.004 inches) to 1.80 mm (0.071 inches). The materials vary from stainless steel, copper or nickel alloys, to titanium. Surface plating is optional.
Springs that fit ALL of the following criteria are standard:
1) Wire diameter between 0.25 mm/0.010 inches and 1.50 mm/0.059 inch
2) Coil width larger than 1.8 mm/0.071 inches and unwelded length below 100 mm/3.9 inches
3) Stainless steel or copper alloy wire materials
4) Light or medium in spring force
Non-standard springs are available at higher prices. Please contact us for a price quote at quote@iconneng.com or sales@iconneng.com.
