For decades the spring-loaded probe aka pogo-style pin has delivered excellent mechanical and electrical performance in a highly compliant contact. However, this often came at a high cost given that ...

The cost could be so exorbitant, in fact, that when significant volumes of pins are required, many opted to utilise less compliant, lower performance alternative contact technologies to reduce costs.

Spring-loaded plungers use a spring and a plunger (or ball tip) to exert a precise and repeatable force. They are a better option than having engineers cobble together an assembly that uses a simple, ...
