Submit Project Requirements →Engineering Summary: This 5-pin pogo pin connector is a non-magnetic spring-loaded connector assembly developed for PCB, module and device integration. It combines five electrical contacts with a controlled housing and application-specific mounting structure. Pin pitch, contact arrangement, Pin Map, working stroke, spring force, housing dimensions and termination should be confirmed according to the complete electrical and mechanical design.
A 5-pin pogo pin connector should be specified as a complete connector assembly rather than as five independent spring-loaded contacts placed into a housing. Electrical and mechanical performance depend on the relationship between the pogo pins, housing, mating targets, PCB, mounting structure, working stroke and device-level alignment.
This product contains no magnets. Alignment and retention must therefore be controlled through the connector housing, device enclosure, locating features, fixture, bracket, fasteners or another intentional mechanical structure.
A 5-pin pogo pin connector combines five spring-loaded electrical contacts inside an insulating or mechanically controlled housing. Each pogo pin contains a moving plunger, barrel and internal spring.
When the connector approaches its mating assembly, the five plungers compress against corresponding target pads. The internal springs provide contact pressure while the housing controls the relative position of the contacts.
| Connector Function | Primary Structure | Engineering Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical connection | Five spring-loaded pogo contacts | Carry assigned power, ground, signal, sensing or identification channels |
| Contact positioning | Connector housing | Controls pin pitch, contact layout and alignment |
| Working compression | Pogo pin stroke and mechanical stop | Maintains each contact inside its approved working range |
| Final alignment | Locating features, enclosure or fixture | Limits offset, rotation and side loading |
| Device connection | PCB, SMT, DIP, wire, solder-cup or FPC termination | Connects the assembly to the product electronics |
| Mechanical retention | Housing, clips, screws, brackets or enclosure | Maintains the connected position without magnetic attraction |
The electrical contact pressure in this connector is generated by the internal pogo pin springs. The product does not use magnets to attract, align or retain the mating parts.
| Design Item | Standard 5-Pin Pogo Pin Connector | Magnetic Pogo Pin Connector |
|---|---|---|
| Contact pressure | Generated by the internal contact springs | Also generated by the internal contact springs |
| Initial alignment | Housing, fixture or device structure | May be assisted by magnets and controlled by the housing |
| Retention | Enclosure, guide, bracket, latch or compression structure | May include magnetic attraction |
| Separation behavior | Defined by the surrounding mechanical structure | May use a magnetic breakaway arrangement |
| Typical integration | Internal PCB, module, dock, fixture or equipment connection | Detachable cable, charging dock or external interface |
Magnetic-force values, magnet grades, magnetic polarity and automatic magnetic-mating claims do not apply to this product.
The following table defines the confirmed product type. Detailed dimensions and electrical parameters should be completed from the approved CTP product drawing.
| Specification | Current Product Definition |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Pogo pin connector assembly |
| Pin Count | 5 spring-loaded contacts |
| Magnetic Structure | None |
| Electrical Functions | Power, ground, signal, sensing, identification or project-specific channels |
| Contact Layout | Defined according to the approved connector drawing |
| Pin Pitch | Confirmed according to the housing, PCB and electrical-spacing requirements |
| Working Stroke | Confirmed from the selected pogo pin construction and tolerance stack |
| Spring Force | Specified per contact at the defined working stroke |

Engineering Note: Five physical contacts do not automatically mean five independent data channels. The contacts may be assigned to power, ground, parallel current paths, sensing, identification or communication functions according to the approved Pin Map.
The function of every contact should be defined before the housing, PCB footprint, mating target and electrical validation plan are released.
A five-contact Pin Map may include:
| Contact Position | Project Function | Required Engineering Review |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Defined by customer schematic | Voltage, current and electrical state during mating |
| Pin 2 | Defined by customer schematic | Ground or signal-return requirement |
| Pin 3 | Power, signal, detection or sensing | Spacing, routing and sequencing |
| Pin 4 | Power, signal, detection or identification | Electrical load and channel isolation |
| Pin 5 | Project-specific function | Detection, communication or reserved-function review |
This is a planning framework only. The final Pin Map must follow the customer schematic and approved connector drawing.
A five-contact assembly may use a single-row, staggered, circular or another application-specific pattern. The page should not claim a specific arrangement until the actual drawing confirms it.
Layout selection should consider:
Pin pitch is the center-to-center distance between adjacent contacts. Reducing the pitch may decrease connector size, but it can also reduce PCB-routing, molding, alignment and electrical-spacing margins.
The working stroke is the amount each pogo pin is compressed after the connector reaches its final seated position.
The dimensional stack may include:
| Assembly Condition | Possible Risk | Required Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum compression | One contact may not maintain sufficient normal force | Minimum force and channel-level electrical stability |
| Nominal compression | Primary operating condition | Force, resistance and connector function |
| Maximum compression | High housing load, PCB deflection or mechanical over-travel | Maximum force and mechanical margin |
| Uneven compression | Different contacts may have different force or resistance | Housing flatness, pin height and target alignment |
The total connector load is the combined spring reaction of all five compressed contacts. The PCB, housing, mechanical stop and mating structure should be designed for the total load rather than the force of one contact.
Pogo pins are primarily intended for controlled axial compression. They should not be used as the only features responsible for aligning the two mating assemblies.
Possible mechanical guidance features include:
Retention may be provided through enclosure compression, clips, screws, brackets, latches or the application fixture. The required structure depends on whether the connector is used internally, in a dock, in a removable module or inside a testing system.
| Termination Option | Suitable Application | Primary Engineering Review |
|---|---|---|
| Surface mount | Automated PCB assembly and low-profile structures | Footprint, paste, reflow, height and mechanical support |
| Through-hole / DIP | PCB structures requiring extended solder tails | Finished holes, soldering, installed height and load path |
| Wire or solder cup | Harnesses, modules and flexible internal routing | Wire size, Pin Map, soldering and strain relief |
| FPC | Thin devices or connectors separated from the main PCB | FPC reinforcement, bend radius and termination reliability |
| Integrated module | Housing, PCB, cable and connector supplied as one assembly | Complete dimensional, electrical and production validation |
Electrical ratings should be based on the complete current path rather than the number of contacts.
The complete path may include:
Define:
Two or more contacts may be connected in parallel for power, but current should not be assumed to divide equally.
Current sharing can be affected by:
Where parallel contacts carry meaningful current, evaluate individual channel voltage drop and temperature where practical.
A 5-pin pogo pin connector can combine power, ground and selected signal functions, but Pin count alone does not establish support for USB, high-speed data or another communication protocol.
Signal design should consider:
Protocol support should only be published after the complete connector and channel have been validated.
Each pogo pin requires a corresponding target pad or conductive mating surface.
The mating side should define:
The target layout and pogo pin connector should be developed together. The target pads should not be added after the connector design has already been frozen.
A standard pogo pin connector assembly should not automatically be described as waterproof.
Environmental protection depends on:
Any IP rating must identify the complete tested assembly and the exact test condition.
A custom 5-pin pogo pin connector may be evaluated for:
Application suitability should be confirmed from the Pin Map, voltage, current, data requirements, working stroke, alignment and operating environment.
| Requirement | Recommended Evaluation |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | Pin pitch, housing dimensions, installed height and termination inspection |
| Pin Map | Continuity, short-circuit and channel-allocation verification |
| Working stroke | Minimum, nominal and maximum assembly conditions |
| Spring force | Individual-contact and total connector-force measurement |
| Contact resistance | Channel-level measurement at the approved working stroke |
| Power operation | Voltage-drop, current-sharing and temperature-rise testing |
| Mechanical operation | Project-defined compression or mating-cycle testing |
| Alignment | Offset, angular and side-load evaluation |
| Assembly | Production-intent PCB, wire or FPC process trial |
| Environment | Application-specific temperature, humidity, vibration or contamination testing |
No. This is a standard non-magnetic pogo pin connector assembly. Alignment and retention are provided by the housing, enclosure, locating features or application fixture.
No. Five Pin refers to five physical contacts. The contacts may be assigned to power, ground, signal, sensing, identification or parallel current paths.
Yes. The electrical function of each contact can be allocated according to the customer schematic, subject to spacing, current and signal requirements.
Yes. Pin pitch can be reviewed according to the pogo pin dimensions, PCB capability, housing structure, electrical spacing and installation space.
Yes, selected contacts may be assigned to different functions. Final current, voltage, grounding, sequencing and signal requirements must be defined and validated.
Parallel contacts can be considered, but current sharing should be evaluated because force, resistance, target alignment and PCB routing may differ between channels.
Pin count alone does not establish protocol support. High-speed performance depends on the complete contact layout, PCB routing, return path, cable or FPC and receiving circuit.
Waterproof performance depends on the complete connector assembly, PCB or cable entry, seals and device enclosure. A universal IP rating should not be assigned without a defined tested structure.
The connector can be reviewed for SMT, through-hole, PCB, wire, solder-cup, FPC or integrated-module structures according to the application.
