Low Profile Pogo Pin Solutions

Low profile pogo pins typically have an overall height of 4.0mm or less. Our ultra-low profile models start at just 1.6mm in height, making them ideal for modern slim devices like smartphones, tablets, and wearables. The reduced height is achieved through precision engineering that maintains spring force and electrical performance while minimizing vertical space requirements.

No, our low profile pogo pins are engineered to maintain the same durability standards as standard height models. While the spring travel is reduced, we use high-quality beryllium copper springs and precise manufacturing tolerances to ensure 10,000+ mating cycles. The key is proper application design – ensuring adequate compression force without over-stressing the shorter spring mechanism.

Yes, our low profile pogo pins can be designed for high-speed signal applications. The shorter overall height actually provides advantages for signal integrity due to reduced inductance. We offer models with controlled impedance characteristics suitable for USB, HDMI, and other high-speed protocols. Gold plating ensures low contact resistance and signal stability over the product lifetime.

PCB pad design is critical for low profile pogo pins due to limited spring travel. We recommend circular pads with diameter 1.5-2.0 times the pin diameter, with solder mask opening matching the pad size. The mating surface should be flat and level, with ENIG or hard gold plating for durability. We provide detailed PCB design guidelines with recommended pad layouts, tolerances, and keep-out zones for each product model.
