FAQ of Engineering Resources

You can find answers below to pogo pin selection, connector integration, materials, electrical performance, and custom development. Then, you will know what you should prepare in advance and what you can get.

How to identify total stroke and working stroke?

Johoty designs the total stroke to press the plunger tip to maximum compression. We design the working stroke with spring force at the working position. And, we accurately define the working position for assembly tolerances and avoid unintended bottoming out.

How to determine the current rating of pogo pins?

Johoty determines current based on plunger structure, materials, resistance, heat dissipation, ambient temperature, and duty cycle. We establish the allowable current through temperature-rise of ΔT<30℃ and performance testing.

Does stronger spring force always improve contact reliability?

Not necessarily. Johoty can design the spring force to maintain electrical engagement. We need to avoid excessive force due to mechanical loading, wear, and assembly stress. We can also balance spring force between stability and constraints.

How does gold plating affect pogo pin performance?

Johoty can provide a conductive, corrosion-resistant contact surface by gold plating. We can accurately define gold plating thickness, underlayer selection and thickness. For good performance, we specialize in mating material, contact force, wear, and environmental exposure.

Can pogo pins transfer both power and signal?

Yes. Johoty can design spring-loaded contacts to support power and signal based on appropriate layout and validation. We can customize high-speed pogo pins based on impedance, return paths, insertion loss, and interface geometry. If needed, you can get high speed or high frequency pogo pin connectors too.

How should I select the working compression?

Clients’ working compression is based on accurate contact force. It can allow sufficient margin for manufacturing tolerances, mechanical movement, and expected wear. Johoty can provide you the selected pogo pins by the force–stroke curve and dimensional drawing.

Can Johoty support custom pogo pin dimensions and configurations?

Yes, we can. Johoty can review clients’ custom requirements: contact geometry, dimensions, and stroke. We also need to check spring force, materials, plating, and connector configurations. We can offer pogo pin feasibility based on clients’ application and our manufacturing processes.

What information should I offer for a custom pogo pin connector?
