With the FKB5457-SMD, PTR has released a horizontal spring contact or pogo pin. Most common spring contacts are perpendicular to the PCB, while PTR now introduces a horizontal version. The spring contacts are placed next to each other in a holder, whereby the bottom side remains free and is soldered to the PCB. The gold-plated spring contacts can bridge 1.5 mm, which is a large tolerance range for the counter contact.

Characteristics:

  • compact: pin length 10.4mm, height 2.47mm
  • from 2 to 12 poles on 2.54mm pitch
  • maximum 3.5A
  • typical resistance ≤ 20mΩ
  • available on tape & reel
  • SMD mounting

The FKB5457 board-to-board contacts provide an ideal solution for frequently connecting portable devices to a base station for charging and data transfer, for example.
