How do we solve the pogo pin connector vibration?
Smart devices continue to develop rapidly. Whether it is a mobile phone, a sports bracelet, a smartwatch, or a smart wearable, considering its application characteristics, the design of the pogo pin connector used in the product must take vibration issues into consideration. In addition, it is also necessary to consider the cooperation between the entire smart product structure framework and a single pogo pin connector. The increasingly rich mobile phone applications have more stringent requirements for the space occupied by the pogo pin connector, and at the same time require the volume of the pogo pin connector to continue to decrease. This poses many difficulties to the design of engineers.
A solution to the vibration problem is to use compression technology instead of SMT soldering or add pads to prevent damage to the PCB and solder joints. For mobile phones with vibration function and relatively loose structure, a pogo pin spring pin battery connector is also a better solution. The ability to add active contacts (that is, double contacts, similar to the current popular laptop battery connector) is another technology to solve this problem.
In addition, after the number of mobile phone applications increases, it will be necessary to connect various external storage devices, such as memory sticks and SD memory sticks. They must be matched with new connectors corresponding to the applications. This is a development direction. The development trend of mobile phones using pogo pin connectors is almost always in line with the multi-functional requirements of mobile phones. For future development, on the one hand, it is standardization, because pogo pins need to be linked with some mobile storage devices, such as memory sticks, mobile hard drives, etc., so there must be a specification agreement, that is, interchangeability and compatibility. On the other hand, it is the transmission speed and anti-interference. Now the signal transmission speed is getting faster and faster, and better shielding is required. Future development will definitely require connectors to be more precise, smaller in size, more stable in current, and faster in signal transmission.
