A spring loaded pin is a spring-type probe made by precision riveting the three fundamental components of the plunger, tube, and spring.

An explanation of how to utilize a spring loaded pin

The bottom of the spring loaded pin plunger is usually a bevel construction. The bevel structure's job is to ensure that the spring loaded pins retains the plunger in contact with the inner wall of the tube during operation so that the current mostly travels via the gold-plated plunger and tube to ensure the spring loaded pin's stability and low impedance. Spring loaded pins are commonly found in precision connections in electronic items such as cell phones, communications, cars, medical care, and aerospace.

When used in precision connectors, because the spring loaded pin is a very fine probe, the volume can be made very small, reducing the weight of the connector, saving space, and beautifying the product's appearance (such as ultra-thin mobile phones, smartwatches, and so on).

What are the advantages of spring loaded pin over shrapnel?

Spring loaded pin connectors and shrapnel connectors are two examples of existing connectors. What are the advantages of spring loaded pins over shrapnel connectors? In this section, I will briefly discuss the three points of view listed below.

Compared to a shrapnel connector of the same size, the spring loaded pin has higher compression and a more stable contact. However, the change in spring pressure of the spring loaded pin is relatively minimal when subjected to a forceful impact from an external force. For example, spring loaded pins take up less space than shrapnel connectors under the same compression.

The spring loaded pin does not require a stamping die, and the time required for development, sample, and mass manufacturing is minimal.

Where can you use spring loaded pins?

Spring loaded pins can be used in those locations as a type of connector. Today, I'll give you a quick overview:

1. Aerospace, military communications, and military electronics

2. Automobiles, navigation systems, and test and measurement equipment

3. Medical, wireless, data communication, and telecommunications equipment, as well as automation and industrial equipment

4. Electronics for the home (printers, mobile phones, computers, cameras, audio-visual equipment, PDAs, Bluetooth headsets, etc.).

5. Smart wearable gadgets, smart positioning devices, smart wristbands, smart watches for children, smart robots, drones, wearable mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets, etc., data cables, charging cables, magnetic suction line board line end connectors
