How to Choose the Right Solder Cup Pogo Pin

A solder cup pogo pin ends in a small cup that accepts a wire for direct soldering. The right pin depends on your wire gauge, current, and length. Use the steps below to spec it before sampling.

1. Match the cup to your wire gauge. The solder cup accepts a stripped wire for a direct joint. Send your wire gauge and we’ll size the cup. A correct fit makes a clean, strong solder connection.
2. Choose the current rating for power leads. Solder cup pins carry 1A to 20A across the range. The high end suits power cables and battery leads. Match the rating to your peak current with margin.
3. Set the pin length for your assembly. These pins run 7.5 mm to 33.1 mm long. Pick a length that reaches both the mating surface and the wire route. Share your assembly for a fit check.
4. Confirm the working height for firm contact. Working height spans 1.02 mm to 31.9 mm. Spec the height for stable contact within your gap. We’ll model travel against your mating face.
5. Set spring force for stable connection. Spring force runs 40 gf to 150 gf. Higher force holds contact under cable strain and vibration. We tune force to your cable and gap.
6. Use Gold plating for low resistance. Our solder cup pins use Gold plating for low, stable contact resistance. That matters on high-current leads where loss turns into heat. Thicker Gold suits high-cycle use.
7. Not sure which pin fits? Talk to our engineers. Send us your wire gauge, current, and mating gap. We’ll match a catalog pin or design a custom solder cup pogo pin. Free samples ship within two weeks.
