Engineering Summary

This 6-pin PCB pogo pin connector integrates six spring-loaded electrical contacts into a compact 3 × 2 dual-row housing with straight PCB tails. The dual-row architecture reduces the contact-array length compared with a 1 × 6 single-row arrangement while maintaining six independently assignable electrical positions.

Each spring-loaded contact provides electrical connection and controlled compliance along the contact axis. Final connector position, contact compression and mechanical seating should be established by the PCB, mating target and device-level mechanical structure rather than by using the pogo contacts as structural stops.

3 × 2 Dual-Row Contact Architecture

Six spring-loaded contacts are arranged as three positions across two parallel rows. This compact contact field distinguishes the connector from longer single-row 6-position pogo connector assemblies.

Exact contact pitch, row spacing, pin numbering and contact-center coordinates should be confirmed from the approved product drawing before PCB layout or mating-target design is released.

Straight PCB Tail Interface

Straight metallic tails extend from the rear of the connector housing for PCB integration. The visible structure is consistent with through-hole style mounting, but final PCB hole dimensions, pad geometry, tail diameter and insertion depth should follow the approved connector drawing.

PCB dimensions should not be estimated from product photography because small variations in tail diameter, spacing and housing position can affect assembly fit and connector alignment.

Connector Assembly vs. Individual Pogo Pins

This product is a multi-contact pogo pin connector assembly rather than six individually installed spring-loaded contacts. The housing maintains the six contacts in one defined 3 × 2 geometry.

Engineers should evaluate the complete housing, PCB footprint, contact geometry, working stroke, mating target and tolerance stack-up as one interface.

Mechanical Integration

Mechanical design should consider PCB position, housing dimensions, mating direction, target-contact geometry and available assembly tolerance. Device-level datums and mechanical stops should define the final mating position.

Mechanical Information to Confirm

  • Overall connector length, width and height
  • Contact pitch and row spacing
  • Tail diameter and tail length
  • PCB finished-hole diameter
  • PCB pad dimensions
  • Recommended PCB thickness
  • Mating direction
  • Target-contact geometry
  • X/Y/Z mating tolerance
  • Mechanical datum and final seating position

Working Stroke and Total Travel

Each pogo contact should operate within the working stroke defined by the approved connector drawing. Working stroke is the intended operating compression range and should not be confused with the total available mechanical travel of the contact.

The final device structure should provide the mechanical stop so that the pogo contacts operate within their intended compression range rather than serving as structural stops.

6-Contact Pin Map and Electrical Assignment

Six physical contacts provide six available electrical positions, but pin count does not determine their functions. Power, return, control, sensing, identification or signal functions should be assigned through the approved customer pin map.

A clear Pin 1 reference and viewing direction should be included because a 3 × 2 dual-row array can be interpreted differently from the PCB side and mating side.

Current Capability and Complete Conductive Path

Current capability should be evaluated across the complete conductive path:

Source → PCB copper → through-hole solder joint → connector tail → pogo contact → mating interface → target conductor → load.

Pin count and visible contact diameter alone are not sufficient to establish an approved current rating. PCB copper, solder-joint resistance, connector resistance, mating resistance and temperature rise should be considered together.

Parallel Contact Assignment

Multiple contacts can be evaluated in parallel for a project-specific electrical architecture, but total current should not be calculated by simply multiplying a single-contact rating by the number of parallel contacts.

PCB routing, solder-joint resistance, contact-resistance variation, mating geometry and current sharing should be reviewed together.

Signal and Data Considerations

A 6-pin connector does not automatically support a particular data rate, protocol or communication interface.

Signal capability depends on the approved pin map, ground and return-path allocation, contact geometry, contact pitch, PCB transition, mating target and complete electrical channel.

Application Fit

This compact 3 × 2 connector architecture can be evaluated for PCB-mounted electrical interfaces requiring six independently assigned spring-contact positions while keeping the contact array shorter than a single-row 6-position connector.

Application suitability depends on available PCB space, mating-target geometry, contact assignment, working stroke, electrical conditions and mechanical tolerance.

Environmental and Material Considerations

Contact material, plating, cycle life, housing flammability, operating temperature and compliance status should only be published when supported by approved specifications or validation records.

A black plastic housing does not establish a UL94 rating, and a gold-colored contact surface does not establish a gold-plating composition or thickness.

Customization Options

CTP can review project-specific requirements for contact count, contact pitch, row spacing, housing dimensions, PCB-tail geometry, footprint, working stroke, spring-force condition, pin assignment and mating-target geometry.

Final mechanical and electrical specifications should be released through an approved connector drawing.

Information Engineers Should Provide

  • Available PCB and enclosure X/Y/Z space
  • Required contact pitch and row spacing
  • PCB footprint and finished-hole requirements
  • 6-contact pin map
  • Pin 1 orientation
  • Mating-target geometry
  • System voltage
  • Continuous and peak current
  • Parallel contact assignments if required
  • Signal or communication requirements
  • Required working stroke
  • Mating tolerance and final seating position
  • Operating environment
  • 2D connector drawing and PCB layout
  • Prototype quantity and expected production volume

FAQ

How are the six contacts arranged?

The connector uses a 3 × 2 dual-row contact arrangement, providing six spring-loaded contact positions within one compact housing.

How is this different from a 1 × 6 single-row pogo connector?

Both configurations provide six contact positions, but the 3 × 2 dual-row architecture uses two rows and can reduce the overall contact-array length. The correct layout depends on available PCB space and mating geometry.

Is this a PCB through-hole pogo connector?

The visible connector uses straight rear PCB tails consistent with through-hole style integration. Final hole diameter, pad dimensions and PCB footprint should follow the approved product drawing.

Is the contact pitch 2.54 mm?

The exact contact pitch and row spacing should be confirmed from the approved connector drawing before PCB layout release.

What is the working stroke?

Working stroke is defined by the approved spring-contact design and should be distinguished from the contact’s total available mechanical travel.

What current can this 6-pin connector carry?

Current capability is project-specific and should be evaluated across the PCB, solder joints, connector tails, pogo contacts, mating interface and complete load path.

Can multiple pins be connected in parallel?

Parallel contact assignments can be evaluated, but current sharing, resistance variation, PCB routing and temperature rise should be included in the design review.

Does six pins mean this connector can transmit data?

No. Pin count alone does not determine data capability. Signal performance depends on the pin map, return paths, contact geometry, PCB transition and complete electrical channel.

Can the 3 × 2 contact geometry be customized?

Contact pitch, row spacing, housing dimensions, tail geometry and other interface parameters can be reviewed for project-specific PCB and mating requirements.
