These 33mm (1.3') spring-loaded pogo pins are a great choice for programming and applications where you don't always want headers soldered onto your boards. We use them in our production programming jigs. The pins fit snugly into most standard perf board holes and can be soldered just like normal wire. Dimensions: Length is 1.3' (33mm), travel is ¼' (6.5mm), and head size is 0.06' (1.5mm). Documents include a Dimensional Drawing (PP4).
Using these pogo pins is easy. First, find a standard perf board hole and insert the pin. It should fit snugly. Then, solder it just like you would with normal wire. These pins are great for programming, especially when you don't want to solder headers on your boards. When handling the pins, be careful not to bend them too much as it may affect their performance. For maintenance, keep them in a dry place to prevent rusting. If you need to clean them, use a soft cloth to gently wipe off any dust or debris.
