Bending Type Pogo Pin Connector

How to Choose the Right Bending Type Pogo Pin Connector

A bending-type pogo pin connector uses formed leads to route contact around obstacles or to an angled mounting face. The right connector depends on your layout, pin count, current, and spring force. Use the steps below to spec it before sampling.

1. Map the bent leads to your mounting angle. Bending-type connectors route the contact to a flexible mounting angle. Send your layout and we’ll form the leads to clear obstructions. The right bend saves redesign later.
2. Set the pin count for your interface. Our bending-type connectors run from 4 to 16 pins. Pick the count that covers your signal and power lines. Send your pinout and we’ll match the layout.
3. Match the connector length to your route. These connectors run 10.4 mm to 32.5 mm long and 5.6 mm to 10.6 mm wide. Pick a body that follows your routing path to the mating point. Share the path and we’ll size it.
4. Choose the current rating for your load. Bending-type connectors carry 1A to 5A per pin. Match the rating to your peak current with margin. We widen the diameter and plating for higher loads.
5. Set spring force for stable contact in formed leads. Spring force runs 70 gf to 540 gf across the range. Higher force holds contact under vibration in the shaped leads. We balance force so the bend keeps its form.
6. Confirm the working height in your assembly. Working height spans 2.5 mm to 28.15 mm. Spec the height for firm contact within your gap. We tune plating from Au 3u to Au 16u for your cycle target.
7. Not sure which connector fits? Talk to our engineers. Send us your layout, current, and routing path. We’ll match a catalog connector or design a custom bending-type pogo pin connector. Free samples ship within two weeks.
