With the development of the market and the upgrading of product technology, more and more consumers are not only limited to the multi-function of products but also pursue fashionable appearances and small and thin appearances. But manufacturing and designing such a product is a huge challenge for all electronic product engineers. Because of the structural design space and the standard specification of connectors, engineers need help to have a good choice to complete it. Based on this, pogo pins have obvious advantages in terms of structural space usage, assembly cost, lifespan, sample cycle, cost, etc.

What are the process requirements for the pogo pin?

1. The volume of the pogo pin: The larger the volume of the pogo pin and the longer the diameter, the more material consumption will be; the price will naturally be higher. And if the size of the pogo pin is too small, the precision requirements are too high, and the price will also rise. At this time, the manufacturer will consider the price based on the design and production time. The size of the pogo pin needs to be bigger, the design requirements are very strict, and the time is limited. Wear is also particularly long.

2. The process requirements of the pogo pin: use the pogo pin 2.0MM long; the single needle with a diameter of 1.5MM is listed as a standard. This price is the most affordable when the needle is not specially treated. The price will go up if the needle needs to be punched or special Craftsmanship. There are also many kinds of needle tubes for pogo pins: single double-ended needle tailed single needle, side-welded single needle, and surface-mounted single needle, among which the price of the surface-mounted single needle is relatively affordable. Compared with other processes, the process difficulty of the surface-mounted single needle will increase. 

3. Electroplating of pogo pins: The electroplating of pogo pins is very important. When different products are used, there are different requirements for electroplating pogo pins. We must plate a thicker gold layer when customers require products to bear high currents. To meet customers' product needs, as long as the pogo pin is more than 3U gold-plated, we will gild the spring of the pogo pin to ensure better product quality and higher product requirements. Of course, the price of a pogo pin with a thicker gold layer will be higher.

4. Assembly of the pogo pin: The assembly of the pogo pin has many forms; for example, some are formed by direct riveting of plastic assembly, and some have to add cap buckles, carrier tapes, etc., on this basis. Different assembly methods have different prices.
