Materials and Finishing of Right Angle Pogo Pin
Plunger material: Beryllium copper (BeCu)
Beryllium copper has excellent mechanical strength, with a tensile strength of up to 1,100 MPa, and good conductivity, about 22% IACS. Beryllium copper is often the preferred material for high reliability pogo pins. High elastic modulus, capable of maintaining stable deformation in 10 million compression cycles. It has strong adaptability for high-frequency and high-density connections.
Contact surface treatment: gold plating (Au plating)
A hard gold coating with a thickness of 0.1μm~1.27μm is commonly used, effectively reducing the contact resistance to 10~20mΩ Gold plating provides excellent corrosion resistance and can withstand harsh environments with salt spray for ≥96 hours. The hardness of the gold layer is usually 130-200 HV, which is suitable for frequent insertion and removal wear requirements.
Spring material: Stainless steel SUS304/SUS631 (17-7PH)
After 17-7PH heat treatment, the tensile strength reaches over 1,200 MPa and the fatigue life is over 1 million cycles. Springs are often made of martensitic precipitation hardened stainless steel. Has corrosion resistance and high stability, exhibiting superior mechanical consistency in high temperature and high humidity environments.
Barrel material and surface: brass plated with nickel and then gold-plated
The barrel is made of high-precision HBi59 brass, and the outer layer is electroplated with 3-5 μm nickel to enhance hardness and oxidation resistance. The resistivity of the nickel layer is about 7 μΩ· cm, which helps to improve the overall shielding effectiveness. The outermost layer is coated with 0.1-3 μm gold, or with palladium, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, etc. Ensure that long-term contact interfaces do not fail due to oxidation and comply with industrial grade electrical interface specifications.
Reliability Test of Right Angle Pogo Pin
Electrical performance stability test:
Measure using the 4-wire method and apply power for 100,000 cycles at a rated current of 3A. The contact resistance is always maintained within 30mΩ, with a deviation of no more than ±5%. The voltage ripple during testing is below 10mV, which complies with the IEC 60512-2-1 standard. Ensure signal integrity and low-power transmission capability during long-term use.
Mechanical life and elastic fatigue testing:
Johoty conducted continuous compression and tensile fatigue tests on the right angle pogo pin using an automatic loading system. After 100,000 cycles, the elasticity attenuation does not exceed 10%, and the spring stroke maintains a recovery rate of over 95%. As the mechanical engineer of the Taiwanese customer said, my equipment is broken, but your pogo pins are still intact. All parts have no cracks or structural failures, meeting the lifespan requirements in MIL-STD-1344A.
High and low temperature cycling and wet heat testing:
Many American customers require pogo pins to operate continuously at 125℃. Perform 100 cycles of alternating cold and hot temperatures in an environment ranging from -40℃ to +125℃, each lasting for 1 hour. The change in contact resistance after testing is less than 8%. American guests accept this impedance change value because of the strong destructive nature of high temperatures. Simultaneously perform 168 hours of wet and hot storage at 95% humidity and 60℃. The metal components have not undergone oxidation or corrosion, and the surface coating has not peeled off, meeting the requirements of IEC 60068-2-30.
Salt spray and corrosion resistance assessment:
Most USA clients ask uss if right angle pogo pin pass ASTM B117? Of course, Johoty designed pogo pins based on this standard. The sample was placed in a 5% NaCl concentration salt spray box for continuous testing for 96 hours. The gold plated area of Pogo pin has no black spots or corrosion spots, and its corrosion resistance level reaches level 9 (out of 10). Adapt to the long-term reliability requirements of interfaces in harsh industrial environments.
