An individual SMT/SMD spring-loaded pogo pin designed for PCB surface-mount integration where a compact, compliant electrical contact is required. This product is supplied as a single contact rather than a complete connector assembly. Final footprint, working stroke, spring force, plating, electrical capability and environmental requirements are defined by the approved project drawing.
Determine whether the project needs a single spring-loaded contact, a multi-contact connector assembly, a specific mounting method or a customer-defined mechanical interface.

This SMT/SMD single pogo pin is an individual spring-loaded electrical contact intended for direct PCB surface-mount integration. It is designed for projects that require one compliant contact point rather than a complete multi-pin connector housing.
The spring-loaded structure provides controlled Z-axis compliance at the electrical interface. Final seated position should be established by the mechanical design of the product, fixture or housing rather than by using the pogo pin as the primary structural stop.
Dimensions, PCB footprint, working stroke, spring force, electrical requirements, materials and surface finish are project-specific and should be confirmed through the approved engineering drawing.
The product consists of a single cylindrical spring contact with an SMT/SMD mounting base for PCB integration. No connector housing, magnetic structure or cable termination is included in the individual contact shown.
Contact Type Individual spring-loaded pogo pin
Mounting SMT / SMD PCB surface mount
Pin Count One electrical contact
Mechanical Function Controlled Z-axis compliance
The surface-mount base allows the contact to be integrated into a PCB layout without a conventional through-hole tail. The exact land pattern, pad dimensions, solder volume and production process should be defined for the approved contact geometry.
When the contact is intended for automated SMT assembly or reflow soldering, the complete mounting process should be reviewed against the approved material, plating, component geometry and thermal requirements. A generic reflow profile should not be assumed for an unconfirmed part configuration.
PCB designers should also check available X/Y spacing around the contact, required Z-height, adjacent component clearance and the mechanical load transferred into the PCB during mating.
Working stroke and total mechanical travel are different parameters and should not be treated as interchangeable.
The approved working stroke should place the spring contact within the intended operating range after all housing, PCB, mating-surface and assembly tolerances are considered. Total travel represents the available mechanical movement of the contact and does not automatically define the recommended operating position.
Mechanical datums, guides or housing stops should establish the final seated position of the assembly. The pogo pin should provide electrical contact and compliant Z-axis movement rather than acting as the primary mechanical stop.
Current capability cannot be determined from pogo pin diameter alone. The complete conductive path should be reviewed:
Source → PCB Trace / Pad → SMT Joint → Pogo Pin → Contact Interface → Target Contact → Load
Voltage drop and resistive heating depend on the resistance of this complete path:
Vdrop = I × Rpath
Ploss = I² × Rpath
If multiple contacts are connected in parallel for power delivery, current sharing between contacts must also be evaluated. The rated capability of one contact should not simply be multiplied by the number of parallel pins without validating the complete assembly.
A single pogo pin can be assigned as a power, ground, control or signal contact depending on the system design. The physical presence of the contact does not by itself define data bandwidth.
For signal applications, engineers should review the complete channel including contact geometry, return path, PCB transition, adjacent contacts, pitch and any connected FPC, cable or target PCB before defining a supported data rate.

This surface-mount pogo pin can be considered when the product architecture requires an individual compliant PCB contact rather than a preassembled connector housing.
Suitability for a specific application depends on the complete electrical, mechanical, environmental and manufacturing design.
CTP can review project-specific pogo pin requirements based on the customer’s available PCB area, contact geometry, Z-height, working stroke, spring requirement and mating architecture.
Depending on engineering feasibility and the approved drawing, customization may include contact dimensions, mounting geometry, spring characteristics, surface finish requirements and integration into a larger connector assembly.
Final specifications should be released through an approved drawing rather than selected from unverified generic performance values.
An individual SMT pogo pin should not be assigned an enclosure-level IP rating by itself. Waterproof or dust-resistant performance depends on the complete housing, sealing structure, mating interface and validation method.
Cycle life, corrosion performance, temperature capability and other reliability requirements should also be confirmed for the exact material, plating, stroke, contact force and test conditions used in the project.
No. This product is an individual SMT/SMD spring-loaded pogo pin. A complete pogo pin connector normally includes multiple contacts together with a housing or another defined positioning structure.
Yes. The contact is intended for PCB surface-mount integration. The exact PCB footprint and solder-pad geometry should follow the approved drawing.
The current product information confirms an individual spring-loaded contact, but the male/female mating definition requires confirmation from the approved mating geometry. It should not be classified as female based only on appearance.
Working stroke is project-specific and should be defined by the approved drawing. It is different from total mechanical travel and should be selected after considering mating and assembly tolerances.
Current capability must be confirmed for the complete conductive path, including the PCB trace, SMT joint, pogo pin, mating interface and target circuit. Pin diameter alone is not sufficient to define current capability.
A pogo pin can be assigned as a signal contact, but a supported data rate cannot be determined from the pin alone. The complete channel, including return path, PCB transition, pitch and connected cable or FPC when applicable, must be evaluated.
Yes. Individual contacts can be integrated into a customer-defined multi-contact layout, but pitch, housing geometry, mechanical alignment, working stroke and PCB tolerances should be reviewed as a complete assembly.
No IP rating is claimed for the individual contact. Environmental sealing performance depends on the complete connector, housing, gasket or enclosure design and must be validated at assembly level.
Please provide the available X/Y/Z space, PCB layout, required working stroke, mating tolerance, voltage, current, contact function, environmental requirements, assembly method and any available 2D or 3D drawings.

This product page presents a CTP pogo pin configuration for engineering reference. Final dimensions, electrical ratings, materials, magnet structure, sealing level and reliability targets are not universal values; they are confirmed against the approved drawing, installation condition and model-specific validation plan.
CTP reviews the application and prepares a drawing or specification for approval before sample production. Test scope, acceptance criteria and report format should identify the model, sample status, method, conditions, result and review date.
Yes. Customization can cover geometry, contact layout, materials, cable construction, magnetic structure, sealing and appearance. Feasibility depends on the application and approved specification.
No. Current, voltage, resistance, temperature rise and ingress-protection claims apply only to the identified model and stated test conditions.
Timing is confirmed after the drawing, materials, tooling, sample quantity, validation scope and production requirements have been reviewed.
The development route depends on whether an existing pogo pin can be used, modified or assembled into a customized multi-contact connector.
Confirm product type, dimensions, stroke, force, current, mounting and project quantity.
Match the contact geometry, tail structure, housing, Pin layout and installation method.
Confirm dimensional tolerances, material requirements and sample configuration.
