    PogoPin is a spring-type probe formed by Plunger, Tube and Spring by precision instrument riveter which Its be called Spring pin, Spring thimble, Spring probe, Spring Loaded, PogoPin connector.The bottom of a Plunger on a Pogo Pin is usually a sloping structure which is designed to ensure that the Plunger keeps the needle in contact with the inside wall of the Tube while it is working, allowing the current to flow mainly through the gold-plated plunger and Tube to ensure the stability and low impedance of the Pogo Pin.

Pogo Pin Industry Development Trend

★ Between the board and the board can be realized jumper, no longer bound by the cable.
★ Small size fine.
★ Heavy current.
★ high durable.




The advantages of Pogo Pin

★ Pogo Pin can better transmit the high-frequency signal of the antenna.

    Compared with antenna shrapnel, Pogo Pin has smaller distributed capacitance and inductance due to shorter current path at the same working height, especially in high frequency band, which is more conducive to impedance matching.


 

    Based on the same working height, Pogo Pin is much higher than shrapnel in self-resonant frequency band, with less loss, which is conducive to the efficient transmission of high-frequency signals.





    Pogo Pin in the design of metal frame can be more flexible for signal transmission, so that the antenna radiation is further away from the motherboard and its components, which is more conducive to the performance of the antenna. At the same time, the contact and assembly scheme of Pogo Pin is more flexible, and the design of metal battery cover, metal frame and ultra-thin model can make better use of space.





★ Pogo pin enable high-current connection schemes





★Pogo Pin make it easier to implement waterproof structures


 

 


★Pogo Pin can provide precise and stable connection points for RF signal transmission


    When Pogo Pin are used in antenna connectors, more stable connection points can achieve more stable RF performance without frequency offset.





★Pogo Pin take up less space
