Q. What is the purpose of a pogo pin?

Answer

Pogo pins, also known as spring-loaded conductive pins, are useful for making quick and temporary electrical connections. One such application is verifying the integrity of electrical signals on PCBs. In electronics, a connection between two printed circuit boards is made using a Pogo pin. A typical pogo pin is a thin cylindrical object with two pointed, spring-loaded pins. When pressed between two electrical circuits, the pogo pin's sharp tips make solid connections with both circuits, joining them. A Pogo Pin is a probe with a spring within, and its production requires precise tools and riveting skill. The typical components are a plunger, a tube, and a spring.
