Engineering Summary

This 8-pin pogo pin connector integrates eight spring-loaded electrical contacts into a compact 4 × 2 dual-row housing. The architecture provides multiple independently assignable contact positions in a short connector block rather than requiring eight individual pogo contacts to be installed and positioned separately.

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

4 × 2 Dual-Row Contact Architecture

Eight contact positions are arranged as four positions across two parallel rows. This creates a compact multi-contact interface with a shorter overall contact-array length than a comparable single-row 8-position structure.

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

Connector Assembly vs. Individual Pogo Pins

This product is a complete pogo pin connector assembly rather than eight individual spring-loaded contacts. The housing maintains the relative position of all eight contacts in a defined 4 × 2 array.

The complete housing, contact geometry, mounting structure, mating target and tolerance stack-up should therefore be evaluated as one interface.

PCB Mounting and Termination

The exact PCB mounting and termination structure should be confirmed from the approved connector drawing. Product photography alone is not sufficient to establish an SMT, SMD or through-hole PCB footprint.

If surface-mount termination is confirmed, the PCB land pattern, solder-pad dimensions, coplanarity and assembly conditions should be reviewed together. Other termination structures should follow their corresponding released mechanical and PCB drawings.

Mechanical Integration

The connector should be reviewed together with the available PCB area, enclosure geometry, mating target and contact compression direction. Mechanical datums and device-level stops should establish the final relationship between the connector and mating surface.

Mechanical Information to Confirm

  • Overall connector length, width and height
  • Contact pitch and row spacing
  • PCB mounting and termination structure
  • PCB footprint
  • Mating-target geometry
  • Mating direction
  • Available X/Y/Z tolerance
  • Mechanical datums and final seating position

Working Stroke and Contact Compression

Each pogo contact should operate within the working stroke specified by the approved connector drawing. Working stroke is different from total available mechanical travel.

The mating structure should define the final mechanical stop so the spring-loaded contacts provide controlled electrical-contact compliance without acting as structural stops.

8-Contact Pin Map and Electrical Assignment

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

Pin numbering should include a clear viewing direction and Pin 1 reference because a 4 × 2 array can otherwise create ambiguity between the connector side, PCB side and mating interface.

Current Capability and Complete Conductive Path

Current capability should be evaluated across the complete conductive path:

Source → PCB or conductor → connector termination → pogo contact → mating interface → target conductor → load.

Neither the number of contacts nor visible contact diameter is sufficient to establish an approved current rating. PCB copper, termination resistance, pogo-contact resistance, mating resistance and temperature rise should be included in the electrical review.

Parallel Contact Assignment

Multiple contacts can be evaluated in parallel when required by the project electrical architecture, but total current should not be calculated by simply multiplying one contact rating by the number of parallel pins.

Current sharing, PCB routing, contact-resistance variation, mating geometry and thermal conditions should be evaluated together.

Signal and Data Considerations

An 8-pin connector provides eight physical contact positions but does not automatically define data capability, communication protocol or signal bandwidth.

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

Application Fit

This compact 4 × 2 connector architecture can be evaluated for electrical interfaces requiring eight independently assigned spring-contact positions within a relatively short connector envelope.

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

Environmental and Material Considerations

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

Gold-colored contact surfaces do not by themselves establish a gold-plating specification, plating thickness or corrosion rating.

Customization Options

CTP can review project-specific requirements for contact pitch, row spacing, housing dimensions, PCB termination, working stroke, spring-force condition, pin assignment and mating-interface 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 mounting and termination method
  • 8-contact pin map
  • Pin 1 orientation
  • Mating-target geometry
  • System voltage
  • Continuous and peak current
  • Any parallel contact assignments
  • 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 eight contacts arranged?

The connector uses a 4 × 2 dual-row architecture, providing eight spring-loaded contact positions within one compact housing.

Is this an individual pogo pin or a connector assembly?

It is a multi-contact pogo pin connector assembly. The housing maintains eight spring-loaded contacts in one defined 4 × 2 arrangement.

Is this an SMD or SMT pogo pin connector?

The exact mounting and termination structure should be confirmed from the approved connector drawing before PCB layout release.

Is the contact pitch 2.0 mm?

The exact contact pitch and row spacing should be confirmed from the approved product drawing rather than estimated from the product image.

Can this 8-pin connector carry 3A?

Current capability is project-specific and should be evaluated across the complete conductive path, including PCB conductors, termination, pogo contacts, mating interface and target load.

Can multiple contacts be connected in parallel?

Parallel contacts can be evaluated for a project-specific design, but current sharing, contact-resistance variation, PCB routing and temperature rise should be considered.

Does an 8-pin connector support data communication?

Pin count alone does not define communication capability. Signal performance depends on the pin map, return paths, contact geometry, PCB transition and complete electrical channel.

Can the 4 × 2 contact layout be customized?

Project-specific contact count, pitch, row spacing, housing dimensions and termination geometry can be reviewed against the required PCB and mating interface.
