Factors affecting spring pogo pin connectors working
The operating technology of custom spring thimble connectors will be affected by many factors, such as the choice of working stroke and compression, as well as its materials. So what kind of influence do these factors have?
1. Working stroke selection of spring pogo pin connector:
When choosing a spring thimble connector, it must be decided according to the space of the product to be applied, and the one within the working stroke range should be selected.
2. Compression options for spring thimble connectors:
Too small space will cause excessive compression of the spring thimble connector, which has a great impact on its service life. Too much space may lead to improper contact, unstable impedance, instantaneous disconnection, etc.
3. the choice of electroplating material for spring thimble connector:
The electroplating material has the effects of increasing conductivity, preventing oxidation, and anti-wear in the spring thimble connector. For different materials, their effect is also different. For example, gold has good electrical conductivity, and for high-current connectors, Electroplated gold is usually used for products with high impedance requirements.
4. the influence of the electroplating film thickness of the spring pogo pin connector:
spring thimble connector will produce a certain amount of friction when it is working because it must be in contact with it, it will wear out after a long time, and the thickness of the electroplating film has a particularly large impact on the service life of the product.
5. the life of spring thimble connector:
The electroplated layer will be worn away when it is used to a certain extent, and the resistance may be too large, and the impedance may be unstable. The electroplating layer of the 100,000-time spring thimble must be thicker than that of the 10,000-time spring thimble. Therefore, when selecting the product, please choose the electroplating requirement according to your needs.
6. the influence of spring thimble connector elasticity: The contact force of the spring pogo pin connector comes from its internal spring. The magnitude of the spring force has an effect on the impedance and stability of the spring thimble; too much elastic force will increase the friction coefficient and affect the service life of the spring thimble.
