RG-1002 3A Gold-Plated DIP Pogo Pin

RG-1002 is a compact spring-loaded pogo pin designed for charging and electrical contact applications. It is rated for 3A current and 12V voltage, with a 1.0 mm pin diameter and an overall length of 8.0 mm.

The conductive contact surface uses a standard gold-plated finish to provide stable electrical contact and help reduce oxidation during repeated use. With a mechanical life of 10,000 cycles and an operating temperature range from -40°C to +80°C, RG-1002 can be used in compact electronic products, charging interfaces and other applications requiring repeated spring-loaded contact.

For projects where the existing dimensions do not match the device structure, the pogo pin can also be adjusted according to customer drawings, samples or mechanical requirements.

RG-1003 technical specifications

Compact 3A charging contact design

RG-1002 is intended for applications where limited installation space must accommodate a reliable charging or electrical contact.

Its 1.0 mm diameter and 8.0 mm overall length make it suitable for compact assemblies where a conventional connector may occupy too much space. The spring-loaded structure allows the contact point to accommodate small differences in mating position during repeated connection.

The 3A rated current and 12V rated voltage make pogo pin suitable for low-voltage charging and power contact designs where the electrical requirement remains within the specified operating range.

When evaluating the pogo pin for a new device, current should not be considered separately from the mating surface, compression condition and thermal environment. The final assembly should be verified under the actual operating conditions of the product.

Gold-plated contact surface

pogo pin uses a standard gold-plated contact surface.

Gold plating helps maintain a stable conductive interface and provides better resistance to surface oxidation than an untreated conductive surface. This is useful for products that require repeated charging or electrical contact.

The plating specification can also be adjusted for non-standard projects when a customer has specific requirements for mating cycles, corrosion resistance or operating environment.

Detailed information about plating principles does not need to be repeated on this product page. Customers requiring a different plating specification can provide the requirement together with the product drawing.

Mechanical and electrical performance

pogo pin has a contact resistance of 50 mΩ under the specified product conditions.

The pogo pin is designed for 10,000 mechanical cycles. Actual service life can also be affected by mating alignment, surface contamination, compression conditions and the mechanical design of the finished device.

Its operating temperature range is -40°C to +80°C, allowing the pogo pin to be considered for electronic equipment used across a relatively wide temperature range.

During product development, the pogo pin should be installed so that the plunger moves along its intended compression direction. Excessive lateral force should be avoided because it may affect contact stability or mechanical life.

Typical applications

pogo pin can be used in compact products requiring repeated spring-loaded electrical contact, including:

• Charging contacts for portable electronic devices

• Battery connection interfaces

• Charging docks and docking stations

• Compact electronic modules

• PCB-to-device electrical contacts

• Smart hardware charging interfaces

• Custom low-voltage power contact assemblies

Application suitability should be confirmed according to the actual current, voltage, installation dimensions, mating structure and operating environment of the device.

Custom RG-1002 pogo pin solutions

RG-1002 is a non-standard pogo pin and can be adjusted when the existing configuration does not fit a customer's mechanical design.

Customers can provide a 2D drawing, 3D model, physical sample or dimensional sketch. The engineering team can evaluate changes to the pin dimensions, overall length, contact structure, conductive material, plating specification and other mechanical requirements.

For projects requiring more than an individual spring pin, non-standard pogo pin connectors can also be developed around the customer's PCB layout and equipment structure.

Standard pogo pins and connector products are available for projects that do not require a fully customized design. Related precision-machined metal components can also be evaluated when the connection structure requires special dimensions or supporting parts.

This approach allows the contact solution to be matched to the equipment instead of forcing the equipment design to fit an unsuitable catalog component.

What information should be provided for customization?

For a faster engineering evaluation, provide the main application requirements together with the inquiry.

Useful information includes:

• Required current and voltage

• Available installation dimensions

• Required pin diameter or overall height

• Mating contact structure

• PCB or housing layout

• Expected mechanical life

• Operating temperature

• Application environment

• Estimated order quantity

If the project is still in the early design stage, a simple dimensional drawing or product concept can also be used for an initial review.

Quality verification

Production specifications for pogo pis should follow the approved product drawing and confirmed technical requirements.

Inspection can include dimensional measurement, contact resistance verification and mechanical cycle testing according to project requirements.

For customized versions, additional electrical or environmental testing can be discussed when required by the application. This prevents general factory capability data from being confused with the actual performance specification of RG-1002.

Send your drawing for evaluation

If your device requires a 3A spring-loaded charging contact but the existing RG-1002 dimensions do not fully match the mechanical structure, send us your drawing or sample for evaluation.

The engineering team can check whether pogo  pin can be used directly or whether the dimensions, material, plating or contact structure should be adjusted.

Samples can be arranged after the required specification is confirmed.

FAQ

1. What are the rated current and voltage of pogo pin?

RG-1003 is rated for 3A current and 12V voltage. The actual finished assembly should still be tested under the device's operating conditions, particularly when the contact is used continuously near the rated current.

2. What are the dimensions of pogo pin?

The pogo pin has a diameter of 1.0 mm and an overall length of 8.0 mm. If these dimensions do not fit the available installation space, a non-standard version can be evaluated according to the customer's drawing.

3. How long is the mechanical life of pogo pin?

The specified mechanical life is 10,000 cycles. Proper alignment, suitable compression and a clean mating surface help maintain stable contact throughout repeated operation.

4. Can pogo pin be customized from my drawing?

Yes. Customers can provide a 2D drawing, 3D model, sample or dimensional requirements. Dimensions, materials, plating and contact structure can be evaluated for customization. Non-standard connector assemblies and related precision-machined components can also be developed when required by the project.
