Solder Cup Pogo Pin Connector

How to Choose the Right Solder Cup Pogo Pin Connector

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

1. Match the cups to your wire gauge. Each solder cup accepts a stripped wire for a direct joint. Send your wire gauge and we’ll size the cups. A correct fit makes a clean, strong solder connection.
2. Set the pin count for your harness. Our solder cup connectors run from 2 to 20 pins. Pick the count that covers every wire in your cable assembly. Send your harness map and we’ll match the layout.
3. Set the connector length for your assembly. These connectors run 9.5 mm to 40.5 mm long and 2.85 mm to 16.7 mm wide. Pick a body that reaches the mating surface and the wire route. Share your assembly for a fit check.
4. Choose the current rating for your load. Solder cup connectors carry 1A to 5A per pin. Match the rating to your peak current with margin. We widen the barrel and plating for higher loads.
5. Confirm the working height for firm contact. Working height spans 5.5 mm to 16.5 mm. Spec the height for stable contact within your gap. We’ll model the travel against your mating face.
6. Set spring force for stable connection. Spring force runs 40 gf to 110 gf across the range. Higher force holds contact under cable strain and vibration. We tune plating from Au 3u to Au 30u for your cycle target.
7. Not sure which connector fits? Talk to our engineers. Send us your wire gauge, pin count, and mating gap. We’ll match a catalog connector or design a custom solder cup pogo pin connector. Free samples ship within two weeks.
