Where to get multimeter knob contacts?
rea5245:
You know the contacts on a multimeter knob that brush against the PCB (pictured below)?
What are they called? Where can I buy them?
Thank you,
Bob
MosherIV:
They are known as spring contacts.
Not sold anywhere that I am aware of.

You probably will have to buy or salvage some beryllium copper or phosphor bronze parts of the approximate thickness and cut them to shape.

Every multimeter has them. There must be someone manufacturing them.

Those are crap! chinese low purity copper which on gold ENIG pcb I find does not give a decent connection. They have won the race to the bottom for price and quality.
Are you looking for replacements or building something using them? If they were leaf/cantilever style, at least silver-plated the quality would be good.
