Product description
The spring-loaded contact pin is a Pogo Pin for constructing test probes and test adapters. The spring mechanism enables repeated compression without wearing the contact surface, which is why Pogo Pins are frequently used for throughput testing and functional testing of printed circuit boards and electronic modules.
The component consists of a spring-preloaded pin whose contact tip retracts several millimeters into the housing when pressure is applied. This design enables reliable electrical contact without permanent pressure and without damaging the contacts under test. This makes Pogo Pins ideal for repeated test cycles in electronics development and manufacturing.
Possible applications include test adapters for microcontroller boards, interface verification on prototypes, functional testing of assembled printed circuit boards, and measurements at hard-to-access test points. A test adapter with multiple Pogo Pins enables parallel measurement or programming without soldering.
The Pogo Pin is typically secured in a test adapter using a thread or screw. Operation requires a holder that ensures the correct alignment and contact force. The contact tip should be checked regularly for wear, especially when used frequently in damp or corrosive environments.
Safety information
When using Pogo Pins in testers and test adapters, ensure that only safe voltages and currents are applied. Work on or near power supply systems must be carried out by a qualified electrician. This component is intended exclusively for building prototypes and for testing and development purposes, and is not intended for use in circuits with mains voltage.
