Letter	Description
N	No probe lubrication. Removing probe lubrication greatly reduces cycle life and should only be used in applications requiring operating temperatures below -55°C.
	Heat-treated steel with gold over nickel plating. For availability, look for the steel logo near tip images.

¹Current Rating is affected by spring material and lubrication choices. Standard lubrication has a 120°C maximum operating temperature limit. Use SS springs with no lubrication (-N) for testing beyond standard lubrication temperatures limits up to 204°C, Before using probes near these current limits, please refer to Current Carrying Capacity and Operating Temperature Application Notes.

²Maximum plunger OD should be used to calculate minimum guide plate clearance holes.

All specifications subject to change without notice. All dimensions are in [mm]. All spring forces are oz [gm/newtons]. US Patent No. 6,570,399 and 4,885,533
