Slanted-Coil Contact Springs for New Energy Vehicle Charging

With the global electric vehicle market expanding rapidly, demand for charging stations—a core piece of infrastructure—continues to climb, driving technological upgrades across supporting components. Although the slanted‑coil contact spring (also known as a spring contact finger) is a small part within the charging station, it performs the critical roles of electrical conduction and mechanical connection, directly impacting the station’s current‑carrying capacity, operational stability, and service life.

Responding to market needs, and after years of focused R&D investment, CATALOG has successfully introduced a slanted‑coil contact spring specifically adapted for charging stations. The product features a unique structure capable of transmitting high currents in a compact space, with no usage restrictions, making it suitable for a variety of static or dynamic medium‑ to high‑voltage environments. Beyond charging stations, it is also widely used in power‑contact applications across medical electronics, aerospace, defense, energy, automotive, and other industries.

Slanted-Coil Contact Spring Solution: Challenge & Response

Challenge	CATALOG’s Response	Outcome
Limited installation space Traditional springs are too large for compact charging-station layouts.	• Simplify structure to reduce material volume. • Optimize form factor for tight space integration.	Compact, space-efficient design that fits seamlessly into modern charging-station assemblies.
High conductive loss & insufficient current capacity Few contact points and uneven pressure lead to power loss and thermal issues.	• Design multi-point contact structure for concentrated pressure distribution. • Use high-conductivity materials for near-lossless electrical transfer.	Greatly increased current rating with high electrical and thermal stability, ensuring efficient equipment operation.
Poor wear resistance & premature detachment Frequent friction and uneven contact pressure accelerate wear and aging.	• Optimize contact-point pressure for consistent, moderate force per point. • Select wear-resistant, anti-aging materials.	Significantly improved wear resistance, lower operating temperature, and extended product service life.
Poor tolerance to machining/assembly errors Traditional springs are sensitive to variations, causing assembly delays in volume production.	• Employ a unique structural design that expands the working range. • Increase compatibility with surface tolerances and processing deviations.	Enhanced adaptability, reduced assembly difficulty, and improved efficiency in large-scale production.
