Understanding Pogo Pins: Reliable Connections in a Compact Design
Pogo pins, also known as contact pins or spring-loaded connectors, are small, cylindrical components with a spring mechanism that ensures consistent electrical contact. Here's what sets them apart:
- Reliable Connections: The spring design applies constant force, maintaining a stable connection even with slight misalignments during assembly.
- Space-Saving Design: Pogo pins often require less board space compared to bulkier connectors, allowing for more compact devices.
- Versatility: Pogo pins come in various configurations with different sizes, pin counts, and spring forces to suit diverse applications.
The Evolution of Pogo Pins: A History of Innovation

Demystifying Pogo Pin Components
A typical pogo pin consists of three to four key components:
- Barrel: Provides structural support and protects internal components.
- Spring: Ensures consistent contact pressure with the mating surface, even with slight variations.
- Pin (Plunger): Conductive tip that transmits electrical current.
- Housing (Optional): Encases and organizes multiple pogo pins for multi-pin connectors.
ATTEND Pogo Pins: Engineered for Excellence
ATTEND pogo pins are meticulously crafted with high-quality materials for superior performance and durability:
- Pins (Plungers): Brass with gold or nickel plating for durability, corrosion resistance, and excellent conductivity.
- Springs: Stainless steel for consistent spring force, corrosion resistance, high temperatures, and non-magnetic properties.
- Barrels: Brass or phosphor bronze. Brass is cost-effective and offers good formability; phosphor bronze provides a good balance of conductivity, formability, and superior corrosion resistance.
- Housing: Thermoplastic LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) PA6T for high-temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and excellent insulating properties.
