Seven Advantages at a Glance
Application Design
Back Drill
The back-drill design gives the spring extra room, shortening the overall length of the pogo pin
Length:2.5mm Current:1A
Bias Tail
The internal bevelled tail offsets the plunger to create a lateral force, producing a more stable contact
Length:3.5mm Current:2A
Ball
The internal ball design keeps the contact point firmly connected, delivering better performance
Length:4.5mm Current:3-5A
Pogo Pin Performance
What Affects the Current a Pogo Pin Can Carry
The ball design maximizes the number of contact points, boosting and stabilizing the current.
The higher the spring force, the better the plunger presses against the barrel, which produces a more stable current.
Different material types strongly affect a pogo pin conductivity, and the right surface roughness also matters for increasing current.

C.C.P. Super AP plating is the gold standard of the industry. Its superior material composition keeps contact resistance extremely low while offering outstanding resistance to galvanic corrosion, making it a complete solution for a wide range of electronic applications.
Plating Comparison
Galvanic corrosion can occur when two dissimilar metals are in close contact in the presence of an electrolyte such as water. Different metals have different electrode potentials, so one becomes the anode and the other the cathode; the resulting current dissolves a small amount of the anode metal. Acidic or alkaline environments, such as human skin, greatly accelerate galvanic corrosion and can even attack metals such as gold and platinum.
