Harwin Pogo pins surface pads
Harwin announces Pogo pins surface pads
A lightweight surface-to-surface connection, maintained by the spring force of the Pogo Pin. Highly durable with high number of mating cycles possible over the lifetime of the device.
Pogo Pins, or Spring Loaded Contacts, were originally designed for the clamshell mobile phone industry. The contact design is a short plunger and body, with an integrated coil spring. Mated to the flat surface of the SMT contact pad, the connection is maintained against the spring force by other systems within the equipment.
The low mating force enables rapid and effortless connections. These contacts mate with any conductive surface, and also tolerate significant lateral mating misalignment.
Pogo pins are available in two styles – with or without location pegs. The solder method is designed to be surface mount, but longer location pegs could also be used as throughboard terminations.
The hard-wearing surface mount Contact Pads are available in 3 contact shapes: Circular, Rectangular, or Oval (more accurately, Obround).
All Contact Pads and most of the Pogo Pins are supplied with Tape and Reel as standard, for high-volume automation.
