The contact body is responsible for the electrical characteristics while the top spring ensures that contact force is maintained under critical circumstances and over the lifetime of the contact system. Reduction in contact force due to stress relaxation at elevated temperature is thus minimized. In addition, there are usually two lances on the steel to spring. These serve to lock the contact securely into the housing. Secondary locking of the contact in the housing can be achieved by means of the steel top spring, which usually takes the form of a box.
All versions of Timer contacts can be combined easily in one connector without renouncing the secondary locking device.

Micro Timers
The Micro Timer series of contacts and connectors is a unique connection system that utilizes a variety of housings and contact types. The Micro Timer I series uses a 1.6mm X 0.8mm contact tab, it has a current-carrying capacity of up to 10A, and it is meant for unsealed applications. The Micro II Series has a 1.6mm X 0.6mm contact tab, it can carry up to 10A, and can be used in sealed or unsealed applications. The Micro III Series consists of a 1.6mm X 0.8mm contact tab, it can carry up to 10A, and can be used in both sealed or unsealed applications.
Junior Power Timers
The Junior Power Timer series continues to add value to the popular Timer group of products. The Junior Timer Series is meant for unsealed applications, has a current-carrying capacity of up to 20A, and it has both 2.8mm x 0.8mm or 3.0mm x 0.8mm contact tabs. This series has a varied selection of housings with multiple positions.
Standard Power Timers
The Standard Power Timer series can be used in sealed or unsealed applications, has the ability to carry up to 40A, and offers multiple contact sizes. The Standard Power Timer contact is a flat contact with four independent contact springs and a steel cantilever spring which reinforces the contact force. The cantilever spring has two locking lances that help lock the contact in its housing
