Engineering Summary

This 6-pin through-hole pogo pin connector integrates six spring-loaded electrical contacts into a 1 × 6 single-row housing for PCB-mounted interfaces. The connector architecture maintains the six contact positions as one mechanical assembly while using straight through-hole tails for PCB termination.

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

1 × 6 Single-Row Connector Architecture

Six contact positions are arranged in one straight row inside a compact rectangular housing. This configuration can simplify assembly compared with installing and aligning six individual pogo contacts separately.

The exact contact pitch, connector dimensions, pin numbering and PCB footprint should be confirmed from the approved product drawing before board layout release.

Through-Hole PCB Integration

Straight contact tails extend from the connector housing for through-hole PCB installation. The tails are inserted through corresponding PCB holes and electrically connected through the approved soldering process.

Finished-hole diameter, pad dimensions, tail diameter, tail length, PCB thickness and soldering requirements should be defined from the approved connector and PCB drawings.

Connector Assembly vs. Individual Pogo Pins

This product is a multi-contact pogo pin connector rather than an individual spring-loaded contact. The housing maintains six pogo contact positions in one defined linear array.

Engineers should therefore evaluate the complete connector assembly, including housing geometry, contact pitch, PCB footprint, working stroke, mating target and system tolerance.

Mating Interface Definition

The final mating target should be defined by the project interface design. Depending on the approved system architecture, pogo contacts may interface with a corresponding contact surface, target pad or another specifically designed mating structure.

A female or receptacle designation should only be used when the complete mating architecture and connector terminology have been confirmed.

Mechanical Integration

The connector should be reviewed together with PCB position, enclosure space, mating direction and the target contact surface. The PCB and device structure should establish the final connector position and mechanical seating.

Mechanical Information to Confirm

  • Overall connector length, width and height
  • Contact pitch
  • PCB finished-hole diameter
  • Solder-tail diameter and length
  • PCB thickness
  • Mating direction
  • Target-pad location
  • Available X/Y/Z tolerance
  • Mechanical datum and final seating position

Working Stroke and Contact Compression

Each spring-loaded contact should operate within the working stroke defined by the approved connector drawing. Working stroke is different from total available mechanical travel.

The device assembly should define the final mechanical stop so the pogo contacts provide controlled electrical-contact compliance without being used as structural stops.

Pin Map and Electrical Assignment

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

Pin numbering and mating orientation should be documented clearly so the PCB layout and mating target use the same electrical reference.

Current Capability

Current capability should be evaluated across the complete conductive path:

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

Contact diameter, tail length or pin count alone is not sufficient to establish an approved current rating. PCB copper, solder joints, contact resistance, mating resistance and temperature rise should be included in the engineering review.

Using Multiple Contacts in Parallel

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 contacts.

Contact resistance variation, PCB routing, solder joints, target geometry and current sharing should be considered.

Signal and Data Considerations

A 6-pin connector does not automatically define charging, communication or data capability. Signal performance depends on the approved pin map and complete interface architecture.

Where communication signals are required, review contact geometry, pitch, return-path allocation, PCB transition, target interface and the complete electrical channel.

Application Fit

This 1 × 6 through-hole connector architecture can be evaluated for PCB-mounted electrical interfaces requiring six aligned spring-contact positions in one connector assembly.

Application suitability should be determined from the required PCB footprint, mating target, working stroke, electrical conditions, mechanical tolerance and operating environment rather than from industry labels alone.

Customization Options

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

Final dimensions 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
  • PCB thickness and finished-hole requirements
  • 6-contact pin map
  • Mating-target geometry
  • System voltage
  • Continuous and peak current
  • Signal 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 1 × 6 single-row contact arrangement, with six contact positions integrated into one linear housing.

What is the difference between this connector and an SMT pogo connector?

This design uses straight through-hole tails that pass through PCB holes. An SMT pogo connector uses surface-mount terminations on the PCB surface. The correct mounting method depends on the PCB and mechanical architecture.

Is the contact pitch 2.54 mm?

The exact center-to-center pitch should be confirmed from the approved connector drawing before PCB layout release.

Is this a female pogo connector?

Female terminology should only be applied after the complete mating interface has been defined. A spring-loaded pogo contact does not automatically mean the connector is a conventional female receptacle.

What PCB hole size is required?

Finished-hole diameter depends on the approved solder-tail dimensions, PCB fabrication tolerances and assembly requirements. Use the released PCB footprint rather than estimating hole size from the product image.

What current can the six contacts carry?

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

Can multiple pins be connected in parallel?

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

Can the contact pitch or housing dimensions be customized?

Project-specific pitch, housing geometry, tail dimensions and contact configuration can be reviewed based on available PCB space, mating requirements and production conditions.
