TECHNOLOGY THURSDAY: Spring-loaded Pins

Our TECHNOLOGY THURSDAY ? is back! Today we will talk about spring-loaded pins, or aka pogo pins.

The cordless landline telephone or needle bed adapters are typical areas of application for spring loaded pins. The many different shapes and designs make spring contacts all-rounders when a quick and reliable electrical connection is needed that can be easily released. Spring contacts compensate for unevenness on the opposing contact surfaces and vibrations and achieve at least 10,000 mating cycles.

This blog explains what developers should look for when designing PCBs with spring loaded pins and connectors that are suitable for assembly. Because what proves to be suitable in the design can cause errors and additional costs in the PCB assembly.
