Individual DIP spring-loaded pogo pin with a stepped cylindrical body, upper radial shoulder and straight through-hole PCB tail. The shoulder provides a defined geometric feature for project-specific integration, while its exact locating or retention function is established by the approved drawing. Working height, working stroke, spring force, electrical capability and material specifications are project-defined.
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.

Submit Project Requirements →This individual DIP pogo pin uses a stepped cylindrical body with an upper radial shoulder located near the plunger-side body transition. A straight reduced-diameter tail supports through-hole style PCB integration.
The spring-loaded plunger provides controlled axial compliance at the mating interface. The visible shoulder provides a defined geometric feature, but its exact locating, retention or installation function should follow the approved mechanical drawing.
Unlike a simple straight cylindrical pogo pin, this design incorporates a radial shoulder near the upper body. The shoulder changes the mechanical envelope and may affect installed height, surrounding housing clearance and the relationship between the contact surface and PCB.
Shoulder diameter, thickness and axial position should therefore be treated as controlled mechanical dimensions rather than cosmetic features.
DIP pogo pins can use different shoulder locations even when both products use straight through-hole PCB tails. This version places the visible shoulder near the upper body and plunger transition rather than close to the lower PCB tail.
The correct structure should be selected according to available installation height, housing geometry, PCB position and the required relationship between the pogo contact and mating target.
The presence of an upper shoulder does not automatically establish its mechanical function. It should not be described as a final stop, locating datum, retention flange or press-fit feature unless the approved drawing defines that function.
The surrounding PCB, housing or device structure should establish the intended installation datum and final mechanical stop.
For a shouldered pogo pin, installed height should be reviewed together with shoulder position, PCB thickness, mounting depth, plunger free height and the location of the mating target.
The complete axial stack-up determines whether the plunger operates within the intended working compression range after assembly.
The reduced-diameter straight tail is intended for through-hole style PCB mounting. Tail diameter, tail length, PCB finished-hole diameter, pad dimensions and solder-joint geometry should follow the released part and PCB drawings.
Through-hole construction should not by itself be used to claim vibration resistance, shock resistance or superior mechanical retention. These characteristics depend on the completed assembly and corresponding validation profile.
Working stroke is the intended operating compression range of the spring-loaded plunger. It should be distinguished from the total available mechanical travel of the pogo pin.
For this shouldered structure, free height, installed height, shoulder position, working height and recommended compression should be reviewed together.
The pogo pin should operate against a device-level mechanical stop and should not serve as the structural stop for the completed assembly.
The rounded plunger tip creates one spring-loaded contact point against a defined mating target. Electrical contact performance depends on target diameter, surface condition, target position, lateral offset and working compression.
Mechanical alignment should be established by the surrounding system design rather than by relying on the pogo pin to correct uncontrolled X/Y positioning error.
Current capability should be evaluated across the complete conductive path:
Source → PCB Copper → Solder Joint → DIP Tail → Internal Pogo Pin Path → Plunger → Mating Interface → Target Conductor → Load.
External pin diameter or a previous 1A product-page claim is not sufficient to establish the allowable continuous current.
For a complete path resistance Rpath, voltage drop follows Vdrop = I × Rpath and resistive loss follows Ploss = I² × Rpath.
Voltage capability should be reviewed at the complete system level, including conductor spacing, PCB geometry and surrounding insulation conditions.
Contact resistance should be published only with defined measurement points, operating compression, mating target, test current and initial or post-life condition.
The gold-colored appearance does not establish the plating composition, underplate or plating thickness. Plunger, barrel, tail, internal spring and plating materials should follow the approved BOM or part specification.
Recommended soldering process, temperature and time should also be defined by the approved assembly specification rather than inferred from the DIP mounting style.
This shouldered DIP pogo pin can be evaluated for PCB-mounted single-contact interfaces where installation height, upper-body clearance and mating-target position must be controlled around a stepped spring-contact body.
Application suitability depends on the approved shoulder geometry, PCB mounting depth, working stroke, target position, spring-force condition and complete electrical path.
CTP can review project-specific requirements for plunger geometry, body diameter, upper shoulder diameter, shoulder position, PCB tail dimensions, installed height, working stroke, spring force, material and plating specification.
Final dimensions and performance requirements should be released through an approved pogo pin drawing.
This version includes a visible upper radial shoulder and stepped body. The shoulder changes the installation geometry and should be reviewed together with available height, surrounding housing clearance and PCB position.
The shoulder provides a defined geometric feature, but its exact locating, retention or assembly function must be established by the approved mechanical drawing.
Not automatically. The final device-level stop and datum strategy should be defined by the surrounding mechanical structure and approved design.
The visible reduced-diameter straight tail is consistent with DIP or through-hole PCB mounting. Final hole diameter, mounting depth and solder-joint geometry should follow the approved drawing.
Installed height depends on body dimensions, shoulder position, PCB thickness, insertion depth, free height, working compression and mating-target position.
Current capability is project-specific and should be evaluated across the complete conductive path from PCB copper and solder joint through the pogo pin and mating interface to the target and load.
Not from appearance alone. Plating composition, underplate and thickness should follow the approved part specification.
Provide the body and shoulder dimensions, PCB mounting geometry, installed height, mating target, working stroke, spring force, electrical requirements and available drawings for engineering review.
If this shouldered DIP pogo pin architecture is close to your contact requirement, submit the shoulder geometry, PCB mounting depth, installation height, mating target, working stroke, spring-force condition and electrical requirements for engineering review.
