POGO PIN Spring Pins

POGO PIN Spring Pins

POGO Pin Spring Pins are precision-engineered spring-loaded electrical connectors designed for temporary or semi-permanent connections in electronic devices. Each POGO pin consists of a precision-machined plunger (piston), a gold-plated tube (barrel), and a captive spring inside. The spring provides constant force to maintain electrical contact while compensating for mechanical tolerances, vibration, and thermal expansion. POGO pins enable reliable connections without soldering, making them ideal for test fixtures, charging stations, battery contacts, and wearable electronics. Available in various tip styles, spring forces, and current ratings, these connectors offer a versatile solution for applications requiring frequent mating cycles or self-aligning connections.

Key Features

 

  • Spring-Loaded Design: Maintains constant contact pressure despite tolerance variations
  • Gold-Plated Contacts: Low contact resistance and excellent corrosion resistance
  • High Cycle Life: Rated from 10,000 to 100,000+ mating cycles
  • Self-Aligning: Compensates for misalignment between mating surfaces
  • Solderless Connection: Easy installation and replacement
  • Customizable: Various tip styles, spring forces, and plating options
  • ROHS Compliant: Environmentally friendly construction

Product Selling Points

 

1. POGO Pin Connectors – Reliable Temporary Contact, 10k to 100k+ Cycles
Designed for applications where devices need frequent connecting and disconnecting: charging cradles, test fixtures, docking stations, and battery contacts. Spring-loaded plunger maintains consistent force across 10,000 to over 100,000 mating cycles (varies by series).

2. 1A to 10A Current Range – Choose by Size
Smaller POGO pins handle 1A for signal-level contacts. Larger diameters scale up to 10A for power delivery in fast-charging cradles or battery terminals. Contact resistance typically 20–50 mΩ - low enough for most power and signal paths.

3. 0.5mm to 2.5mPOm Working Stroke – Customizable Travel
Working stroke (the distance the plunger compresses during mating) ranges from 0.5mm to 2.5mm. Maximum stroke (full compression before bottoming out) from 1.0mm to 4.0mm. Match travel to your device's mechanical tolerances.

4. Beryllium Copper Plunger/Barrel + PEEK/PTFE Insulator
Plunger and barrel made from beryllium copper or brass for good conductivity and spring support. Stainless steel or music wire spring delivers consistent force. High-temperature insulators (PEEK, PTFE, or high-temp plastic) withstand soldering and -40°C to +125°C operation. 1.27mm pitch standard (customizable). ROHS compliant.

  • Tip Style: Flat, pointed, crown, radius, cup, triple point
  • Plating Thickness: 0.1μm to 3.0μm gold over nickel
  • Contact Material: Beryllium copper (best) or brass (cost-effective)
  • Current Rating: Standard (1-2A) or high-current (5-10A)
  • Insulator Material: PEEK (high-temp) or PTFE (standard)
  • Packaging: Loose, tape and reel (SMT), or tray
