Engineering Summary

This 30-pin single-row pogo pin connector integrates thirty spring-loaded electrical contacts into one long linear housing. The 1 × 30 architecture is intended for multi-contact interfaces where many independently assigned contact positions are required along a narrow connector envelope.

The integrated housing maintains the relative contact positions as one connector assembly. Each spring-loaded contact provides electrical connection and controlled compliance along the contact axis, while final positioning and mechanical seating should be established by the approved device structure.

1 × 30 Single-Row Contact Architecture

Thirty contact positions are arranged in one continuous row. This creates a long linear electrical interface rather than the wider footprint associated with dual-row connector architectures.

Exact contact pitch, overall array length, pin numbering and contact-center coordinates should be confirmed from the approved connector drawing before the mating interface or PCB layout is released.

30-Contact Connector Assembly vs. Individual Pogo Pins

This product is a complete pogo pin connector assembly rather than thirty individual spring-loaded contacts. The housing controls the relative contact spacing and maintains the thirty positions as one mechanical unit.

Engineers should therefore evaluate the complete connector geometry, mounting method, mating target, working stroke and tolerance stack-up rather than treating each contact independently.

Mounting and PCB Integration

The final mounting and termination structure should be confirmed from the approved drawing. Product photography alone is not sufficient to determine whether the connector uses SMT, through-hole or another project-specific PCB interface.

If surface-mount integration is required, the PCB land pattern, solder-pad geometry, coplanarity and assembly process should be reviewed together. If through-hole termination is used, tail dimensions, hole diameter and PCB thickness should instead be defined by the released footprint.

Mechanical Integration of a Long Linear Connector

A 30-position single-row connector creates a longer contact array than lower-pin-count designs. Mechanical integration should therefore consider connector straightness, mating-surface flatness, contact-height consistency, housing support and tolerance accumulation across the complete interface length.

Device-level datums and mechanical stops should establish the final mating position. The pogo contacts should provide controlled electrical-contact compliance rather than act as structural stops.

Working Stroke and Compression Across 30 Contacts

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

For a long 30-contact array, the mating structure should also control parallelism and flatness so that compression remains appropriate across the full row rather than relying on excessive travel at individual contact positions.

30-Contact Pin Map and Electrical Assignment

Thirty physical contact positions provide thirty available electrical nodes, but pin count does not determine their functions. Power, return, sensing, control, identification and signal functions should be defined through the approved customer pin map.

Pin numbering should include a clear viewing direction and Pin 1 reference because a long symmetric row can otherwise create orientation ambiguity between the connector, PCB and mating target.

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 thirty contacts nor the visible contact diameter establishes an approved current rating. Conductor geometry, termination resistance, pogo-contact resistance, mating resistance and temperature rise should be considered together.

Parallel Power Contacts

Multiple contact positions can be evaluated in parallel when required by the electrical architecture, but the allowable current should not be calculated by simply multiplying a single-contact rating by the number of parallel pins.

Current sharing, PCB routing, contact-resistance variation, mating geometry and thermal conditions should be reviewed across the complete path.

Signal and Data Interface Considerations

A 30-pin connector provides more available contact positions, but it does not automatically provide higher data bandwidth or support a specific communication protocol.

Data capability depends on the actual pin map, ground and return-path allocation, contact pitch, contact geometry, PCB transition, cable or FPC if present, mating target and the complete electrical channel.

Application Fit

This 1 × 30 connector architecture can be evaluated for long, narrow electrical interfaces requiring thirty independently assigned spring-contact positions in one connector assembly.

Application suitability depends on available installation length, mounting structure, mating-target flatness, contact 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.

A gold-colored contact surface does not establish gold-plating composition or thickness, and the visible connector geometry does not establish durability or environmental performance.

Customization Options

CTP can review project-specific requirements for contact count, contact pitch, connector length, mounting structure, termination geometry, working stroke, spring-force condition, pin assignment and mating-target design.

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

FAQ

How are the 30 contacts arranged?

The connector uses a 1 × 30 single-row architecture, with thirty spring-loaded contact positions arranged along one linear housing.

Why use a 30-pin connector instead of individual pogo pins?

The connector housing maintains the relative spacing of all thirty contacts as one mechanical assembly, reducing the need to position thirty individual contacts independently.

Is this an SMT pogo pin connector?

The mounting and termination structure should be confirmed from the approved product drawing. The main product image alone is not sufficient to establish an SMT footprint.

Is the pitch 2.54 mm?

Contact pitch should be confirmed from the approved connector drawing before the PCB or mating target is designed.

Does 30 pins mean this connector can carry higher current?

No. Pin count does not establish current capability. Current must be evaluated across the complete conductive path and according to the actual pin assignment and thermal conditions.

Can several contacts be used in parallel for power?

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

Does a 30-pin pogo connector support high-speed data?

Pin count alone does not establish data bandwidth. Signal capability depends on the pin map, return paths, contact geometry, pitch, PCB transition and the complete channel.

What mechanical issue is important for a long 30-contact row?

Mating-surface flatness, connector straightness, parallelism and compression consistency should be considered across the full contact-array length.

Can the contact pitch and number of positions be customized?

Project-specific contact count, pitch, housing length and termination structure can be reviewed against the required installation space and mating interface.
