Submit Project Requirements →This product is an individual DIP spring-loaded pogo pin with a long cylindrical body and a straight through-hole style PCB mounting tail. It provides one compliant electrical contact point rather than a multi-contact pogo pin connector assembly.
The spring-loaded plunger provides controlled axial compliance against a defined mating target. PCB mounting geometry, working compression and the final mechanical position should be defined by the approved part drawing and surrounding system structure.
A DIP pogo pin is an individual spring-loaded electrical contact intended for through-hole style PCB integration. It should be distinguished from a pogo pin connector, which combines multiple spring contacts with a housing and defined contact arrangement.
This component should therefore be specified using individual-contact parameters such as body dimensions, PCB tail geometry, working height, working stroke, spring force, mating target and complete electrical-path requirements.
The visible component uses a long cylindrical body with a single spring-loaded plunger and a short straight mounting tail. A lower annular shoulder or collar is visible near the PCB mounting end.
The exact function of the shoulder or collar should be confirmed from the approved drawing before it is described as a locating feature, retention feature or mechanical stop.
The straight lower tail is intended for DIP-style through-hole PCB integration. Tail diameter, tail length, finished-hole diameter, pad geometry, PCB thickness and soldering conditions should follow the released pogo pin and PCB drawings.
Through-hole mounting does not by itself establish vibration resistance or mechanical retention performance. These characteristics depend on the complete PCB assembly, solder joint and surrounding mechanical structure.
A DIP spring-loaded pogo pin can be used in different electrical contact architectures. The mounting style alone does not establish that the component is specifically designed for PCB testing, diagnostics or test fixtures.
If PCB testing is the intended application, the mating target, test-cycle requirement, working stroke, contact force and electrical conditions should be defined as part of the application-specific review.
Working stroke is the intended operating compression range of the spring-loaded plunger. It is different from the total available mechanical travel of the contact.
Free height, working height, recommended compression and total travel should be defined together on the approved pogo pin drawing.
The surrounding mechanical assembly should establish the final stop position so the pogo pin operates within its intended working range rather than serving as a structural stop.
Electrical contact performance depends on the relationship between the pogo pin tip and the mating target. Target diameter, target material, surface finish, relative position and allowed lateral offset should be defined as part of the complete interface.
Physical contact alone does not establish a validated electrical connection. Working compression and the complete mating geometry should be considered together.
Current capability should be evaluated across the complete conductive path:
Source → PCB Copper → Solder Joint → Pogo Pin Tail → Internal Contact Path → Plunger → Mating Interface → Target Conductor → Load.
Pogo pin diameter or external appearance alone is not sufficient to establish an approved current rating. PCB copper geometry, solder-joint resistance, internal contact resistance, mating resistance and temperature rise should be reviewed together.
For the complete conductive path, voltage drop follows Vdrop = I × Rpath and resistive power loss follows Ploss = I² × Rpath.
Contact resistance can depend on plunger compression, mating target, surface condition, measurement points and test current.
Resistance data should therefore be published together with the corresponding test method and operating condition rather than as an isolated value.
The gold-colored external appearance does not establish the plating composition, underplate or plating thickness. Plunger, barrel, tail, internal spring and plating materials should follow the approved BOM or part specification.
Material selection alone should not be used to imply corrosion resistance, medical suitability, automotive qualification or another environmental performance level without corresponding validation.
This individual DIP pogo pin can be evaluated for PCB-mounted interfaces requiring one spring-loaded electrical contact with controlled axial compliance.
Application suitability depends on PCB mounting geometry, mating-target position, working stroke, spring-force condition, electrical load and mechanical tolerance. PCB testing suitability should be confirmed against the actual test architecture and cycle requirement.
CTP can review project-specific requirements for body diameter, overall length, plunger geometry, PCB mounting tail, lower shoulder geometry, working height, working stroke, spring force, contact materials and plating specification.
Final dimensions and performance parameters should be released through an approved pogo pin drawing and corresponding validation requirements.
This product is an individual spring-loaded pogo pin. It provides one electrical contact point and does not include a multi-contact connector housing.
DIP refers to the through-hole style PCB mounting architecture using a straight mounting tail. Final tail dimensions, PCB hole size and soldering requirements should follow the approved drawing.
PCB testing suitability should be confirmed from the actual application requirements. A DIP mounting structure alone does not establish a test-probe function.
A shoulder or collar is visible on the component, but its exact locating, retention or assembly function should be defined by the approved mechanical drawing.
Working stroke is the intended operating compression range of the spring-loaded plunger. It is different from total available mechanical travel.
Current capability should be evaluated across the complete path from PCB copper and solder joint through the pogo pin and mating interface to the target conductor and load.
Not from appearance alone. Plating composition, underplate and thickness should be defined by the approved part specification.
Provide the body and tail dimensions, PCB mounting geometry, mating target, working height, working stroke, spring force, electrical requirements, cycle requirement and available drawings for engineering review.
If this individual DIP pogo pin architecture is close to your PCB contact requirement, submit the body dimensions, PCB mounting geometry, mating target, working stroke, spring-force condition and electrical requirements for engineering review.
