In the rapidly evolving landscape of new energy vehicles, energy storage systems, and charging infrastructure, crown spring terminals have emerged as critical components in high-voltage, high-current connection systems. Their unique multi-point contact design, low resistance stability, and superior vibration resistance make them the “heart” of modern high-voltage connectors.
Structural Innovation:
Unlike traditional cross-slot terminals with only 4 contact points, our crown spring terminals feature 12-24 independent elastic fingers, increasing contact area by 3-6 times and ensuring uniform contact pressure distribution. The optimized hollow-crown design provides controlled elasticity, while precision chamfering facilitates smooth insertion and reduces wear.
Technical Capabilities:
Material Engineering:
- Beryllium Copper (C17200/C17510): 20%IACS conductivity, 131GPa modulus – for high-precision, high-reliability scenarios
- Copper-Nickel-Silicon (C70250): 45%IACS conductivity, 128GPa modulus – optimal for NEV and fast-charging applications
- Chromium-Zirconium Copper (CuCrZr): 75%IACS conductivity – for 200A+ high-current scenarios with superior heat resistance
Surface Treatment:
- Silver plating: ≤0.35mΩ contact resistance – mainstream for high-current applications
- Gold plating: ≤0.1mΩ contact resistance – aerospace and precision instruments
- Multi-layer composite plating: ≤0.03mΩ contact resistance – premium applications with nickel barrier layer
