The development trend of pogo pin connectors
With the development of higher transmission speed and smaller size of electronic equipment, spring thimble connectors also follow this trend, so leaf spring thimble connectors, optical fiber spring thimble connectors, IEEE1394 and USB2.0 high-speed connectors, Wired broadband connectors, and micro-pitch connectors, which are suitable for various portable/wireless electronic devices, are expected to become star products in the future.
Relevant experts said: Mobile products led by mobile phones are currently developing in the direction of miniaturization, thinness, and high performance. The connection between the display assembly and the substrate is more complicated. In this context, the substrate-to-substrate spring thimble connector, FPC spring thimble connector narrow pitch, low back, multi-polarization requirements are more urgent, especially the ultra-thin mobile phone demand for ultra-low profile spring thimble connector in the machine is more urgent. In order to achieve low profile, narrow pitch, miniaturization, multi-polarization, and high reliability of products, various manufacturers have adopted analog technology for in-depth research and development.
Molex also launched two new series of patch-type right-angle FPC spring thimble connectors for mobile phones, digital cameras, and other small applications. According to reports, the 0.50mm pitch FPC connector of the 501461 series provides a profile with a height of only 0.80mm and a depth of 3.20mm. It is said to be the shortest and smallest spring thimble connector among all similar models on the market. The bottom contact connector has 4 to 8 circuit specifications, its rated current and voltage are 0.3A and 50V, and can be used for 0.12mm thick FPC cables. It has a unique BackFlip clamp, which facilitates the insertion and extraction of cables in tight spaces, and has a super-strong FPC cable clamping force.
On the other hand, Bluetooth technology cannot completely replace wired connections, and with the diversification and multi-functional development of electronic products, many electronic products will have both wired and wireless connection interfaces. This will not reduce the number of connectors but increase them. The development of spring thimble connector varieties has promoted the development of the spring thimble connector industry.
