Abstract
A thermally insulating electrical contact probe including a mounting plate having a tubular pin guide defining a pin pass-through, a cover coupled to the mounting plate and having a neck portion enclosing the pin guide, and an insulating pin having a shank portion disposed within the pin pass-through and defining a conductor pass-through, a flange portion extending radially outwardly from the shank portion above a top of the pin guide, and a pocket portion extending from the flange portion and defining a pocket. The electrical contact probe may further include a spring disposed intermediate the flange portion and the mounting plate, the spring biasing the flange portion away from the mounting plate, an electrical contact pad disposed within the pocket, and an electrical conductor coupled to the electrical contact pad and extending through the conductor pass-through.
