FAQs
What advantages do pogo pins offer over conventional connectors?
Pogo pins require no mating connectors, are space-saving, durable, and easy to integrate. They enable up to 1 million contact cycles with consistently reliable conductivity – making them ideal for testing, docking, or modular systems.
Are there different pogo pin form factors available?
Yes. Spring-loaded contacts are available in various lengths, diameters, spring forces, head geometries, and connection types.
How is contact resistance ensured?
A multi-point contact surface combined with uniform spring pressure keeps the resistance low and stable – even over many mating cycles and under vibration.
Are custom pogo pin solutions available?
Yes, we offer tailor-made spring contact solutions in terms of length, geometry, spring force, surface coating, mounting type, and environmental protection.
Are pogo pins suitable for vibration or mobile applications?
Yes. Many variants are mechanically secured or magnetically guided to ensure reliable contact even under movement, shock, or vibration.
Are pogo pins suitable for automated assembly?
Yes. SMD and SMT pogo pins are pick-and-place compatible and can be machine-mounted onto PCBs – ideal for high-volume production.
