Challenges and Solution of SMT Pogo Pins
Welding reliability, avoiding monument effect and virtual welding
Challenges: The cylindrical sidewall of traditional Pogo pins is not conducive to solder climb. Due to uneven surface tension during reflow soldering, it is easy for components to stand upright or shift, resulting in soldering failure.
Johoty Solution: Precision Flat Bottom and Electroplating Optimization
Precision flat bottom design: Provides a true flat soldering base, forming the maximum contact area with PCB pads. This ensures that the molten solder can form a uniform wetting meniscus, fundamentally eliminating the torque that causes the monument to stand.
Coating optimization: Adopting gold or composite coatings with excellent solderability to ensure perfect compatibility with lead-free solder pastes such as SAC305. Realize welding connections with high strength and low porosity.
Coplanarity and PCB flatness tolerance
Challenges: Multiple Pogo Pins must simultaneously achieve stable contact with the target golden finger. Any small coplanarity error or PCB warping can cause signal interruption or excessive pressure.
Johoty solution: Built in precision travel and high consistency springs
Precise independent travel: Each pogo pin has a precisely calculated and tested compression travel. Provides sufficient compensation space for the flatness tolerance of PCBs and connectors.
Ultra-long lifespan springs and rigorous testing: using high reliability spring material SUS631 and precision machining technology. Ensure that the elasticity stroke curve height of each pogo pin is consistent. Provide a 500,000 cycle life guarantee to prevent contact failure caused by spring fatigue.
High frequency/high-speed signal integrity
Challenges: The test results are inaccurate when testing high-speed interfaces such as SerDes and DDR. Because the impedance discontinuity and parasitic inductance/capacitance of traditional connectors can seriously degrade signal quality.
Johoty Solution: Coaxial Structure and Impedance Control
Built in coaxial design: Provides SMT pogo pins with grounded shielding coaxial structure. The signal path is completely surrounded, effectively suppressing signal crosstalk and electromagnetic interference.
Impedance matching: Models with 50Ω or other specific impedances can be customized to ensure impedance continuity throughout the entire transmission path. Minimize signal reflection and loss to meet high-speed requirements.
