Engineering Summary

This 4-pin solder cup pogo pin connector integrates four spring-loaded electrical contacts into a compact 2 × 2 dual-row housing. Rear solder cup terminals provide a wire-termination interface, distinguishing this connector from direct PCB-mount pogo connector architectures.

Each spring-loaded contact provides electrical connection and controlled compliance along the contact axis. The solder cups provide electrical wire termination, while cable retention and strain relief should be controlled by the approved harness or device-level mechanical design where required.

2 × 2 Dual-Row Contact Architecture

Four spring-loaded contacts are arranged as two positions across two parallel rows. The compact 2 × 2 geometry maintains four independently assignable electrical contact positions within one connector housing.

Exact contact pitch, row spacing, Pin 1 location and contact-center coordinates should be confirmed from the approved connector drawing.

Solder Cup Wire Termination

The connector uses rear tubular termination features consistent with solder cup construction. Solder cups provide a defined location for soldering individual wires or conductors to the connector contacts.

Solder cup inner diameter, cup depth, wire stripping length, recommended wire size, solder volume and soldering conditions should follow the approved termination drawing and process specification.

Wire Retention and Strain Relief

A solder cup provides an electrical termination point but should not automatically be treated as the mechanical strain-relief feature for the completed cable or wire harness.

Where the application is exposed to pulling, bending or repeated cable movement, strain relief should be provided by the harness, enclosure, overmold, clamp or another approved mechanical structure.

Connector Assembly vs. Individual Pogo Pins

This product is a four-contact pogo pin connector assembly rather than four separately installed spring-loaded contacts. The housing maintains the relative position of all four contact axes in one defined 2 × 2 geometry.

Engineers should therefore evaluate the housing, contact spacing, solder cup termination, mating target, working stroke and system tolerance as one complete interface.

Mechanical Integration

Mechanical integration should consider the connector housing position, mating direction, target-contact geometry, wire exit direction and cable-support structure. Device-level datums and mechanical stops should establish the final mating relationship.

Mechanical Information to Confirm

  • Overall connector length, width and height
  • Contact pitch and row spacing
  • Solder cup diameter and depth
  • Wire exit direction
  • Recommended wire size
  • Harness strain-relief method
  • 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 total available mechanical travel.

The completed mechanical assembly should provide a defined final stop so the pogo contacts remain within their intended operating range rather than acting as structural stops.

4-Contact Pin Map and Electrical Assignment

Four physical contacts provide four available electrical positions, but pin count does not determine their functions. Power, return, sensing, control, 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 so the solder cup side, spring-contact side, wire harness and mating target use the same electrical orientation.

Current Capability and Complete Wire-to-Contact Path

Current capability should be evaluated across the complete conductive path:

Source → Wire → Solder Joint → Solder Cup → Pogo Contact → Mating Interface → Target Conductor → Load.

Pin diameter or a previous page rating is not sufficient to establish an approved current capability. Wire gauge, solder-joint quality, termination resistance, contact resistance, mating resistance and temperature rise should be reviewed together.

Parallel Contact Assignment

Multiple contacts may be evaluated in parallel for project-specific power paths, but total current should not be calculated by simply multiplying one contact rating by the number of parallel contacts.

Wire sizing, solder-joint resistance, contact-resistance variation, mating geometry, compression consistency and thermal conditions can all affect current sharing.

Signal and Data Interface Considerations

Four contact positions do not automatically establish a communication protocol or data bandwidth.

Signal capability depends on the approved pin map, return-path strategy, contact geometry, pitch, wire or cable structure, mating target and the complete electrical channel.

Application Fit

This compact 2 × 2 solder cup connector architecture can be evaluated for wire-terminated electrical interfaces requiring four independently assigned spring-contact positions in one connector assembly.

Application suitability depends on wire size, termination method, mating-target geometry, pin assignment, working stroke, electrical conditions, harness support and mechanical tolerance.

Environmental and Material Considerations

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

A gold-colored contact surface does not establish a gold-plating specification, and a solder cup termination does not by itself establish a cable pull-force or environmental rating.

Customization Options

CTP can review project-specific requirements for contact pitch, row spacing, housing dimensions, solder cup geometry, wire size, working stroke, spring-force condition, pin assignment and mating-target geometry.

Final mechanical, termination and electrical specifications should be released through an approved project drawing.

Information Engineers Should Provide

  • Available connector and enclosure X/Y/Z space
  • Required contact pitch and row spacing
  • Wire type and conductor size
  • Wire exit direction
  • Harness strain-relief requirement
  • Complete 4-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 / 3D connector and harness drawings
  • Prototype quantity and expected production volume

FAQ

How are the four contacts arranged?

The connector uses a 2 × 2 dual-row architecture with four spring-loaded contact positions integrated into one compact housing.

What is a solder cup pogo pin connector?

A solder cup connector uses cup-shaped termination features for soldering wires or conductors to the connector contacts. Final cup dimensions and wire requirements should follow the approved termination drawing.

What wire size can be used with the solder cups?

Recommended wire size depends on the solder cup dimensions, conductor construction, current requirement and assembly process. The wire gauge should be defined by the approved termination design rather than estimated from the product image.

Does the solder cup provide cable strain relief?

Not necessarily. The solder cup provides electrical termination. Cable strain relief should be provided separately by the harness, enclosure, overmold, clamp or another approved mechanical structure when required.

Is the contact pitch 2.54 mm?

The exact contact pitch and row spacing should be confirmed from the approved connector drawing before the mating interface is released.

Can this connector carry 3A?

Current capability is project-specific and should be evaluated across the wire, solder joint, solder cup, pogo contact, mating interface and complete load path.

Can multiple contacts be connected in parallel?

Parallel contacts can be evaluated for project-specific power paths, but current sharing, wire sizing, solder-joint resistance, contact-resistance variation and temperature rise should be included in the design review.

Does a 4-pin connector automatically support data communication?

No. Pin count alone does not establish data capability. Signal performance depends on the pin map, return-path strategy, contact geometry, wire or cable construction and complete electrical channel.

Can the solder cup and 2 × 2 contact geometry be customized?

Project-specific pitch, row spacing, solder cup dimensions, housing geometry, working stroke and contact functions can be reviewed according to wire, harness and mating-interface requirements.
