Spring contacts, also known as pogo pins or SLC (spring loaded contact), are a proven technology for reliably contacting uneven surfaces. Contact is made by touching a spring-loaded pin. This technology offers a high functional reliability at a very high number of cycles and is particularly suitable for use in power and data transmission.
The standard versions have a nominal current of 1A or 2A, while specially designed models up to 15A can transfer. We also offer customer-specific developments to realize higher nominal currents.
Spring contact connectors consist of several spring contact pins that are assembled in a plastic housing. We offer custom connectors that we customize in terms of pitch, pin count, and package dimensions. We also realize by integrating magnets magnetic connectors according to your requirements.
For a variety of mounting options, we offer different connection types such as SMD, THT, solder cup and crimp connection. Almost all spring contacts can be equipped with a assembly cap and delivered on a roll / tape. This enables a automated assembly and reduces assembly time.

Structure of spring contacts
A spring contact probe consists of three precision-made components that are perfectly matched to each other: a plunger, a spring and a probe body. Together they form a complete, reliable and durable system that ensures a smooth electrical connection.
Design variants of spring contacts
By using different design constructions, the performance and lifespan of the spring contacts is greatly improved.
Design variants of spring contacts:

Screw design spring contact
The constant miniaturization of electronic devices presents manufacturers and engineers with immense challenges, as more and more functions have to be accommodated in the smallest of spaces. In this context, manufacturing technology plays a central role in ensuring the performance and reliability of the devices. This is where the spring contact design with integrated screw thread comes into play, which perfectly meets the requirements of miniaturization.
This innovative design not only enables the transmission of power and signal currents, but also fulfills an important function as a screw. The integration of the screw thread ensures a secure and reliable attachment of the spring contact without the need for additional fasteners. This saves space and significantly reduces assembly time.
The screw thread can be integrated customer-specifically in all flat type spring contacts from a piston length of 3,5mm. This makes the design extremely flexible and adaptable to the needs of a wide variety of applications. Whether in mobile devices, medical devices, the automotive or aerospace industry - the spring contact design with integrated screw thread is used in numerous areas and enables safe and efficient transmission of power and signal currents in compact, high-performance devices.
360° rolling pin spring contact
The rolling pin is an innovative further development of the conventional spring pin, which enables reliable contact between two components with lateral and rotating movements. In contrast to a conventional spring contact, the rolling pin is equipped with a plunger, which is supplemented by an integrated ball in the pin tip.
This innovative construction ensures constant contact, even with 360° rotations. The spring-loaded ball significantly reduces possible transmission interference as a result of movements, vibrations or shocks. We offer different variants for SMD and THT assembly. Depending on the pin, the nominal current is between 1A and 6A.
Connection options of spring contacts
Our range of spring contacts includes various termination options including flat type spring contacts for SMD assembly and plug-in type spring contacts for THT assembly. These can be supplied with assembly caps or on reels, making them ideal for automatic assembly processes. For individual requirements, we also offer spring contacts with crimp connections or solder cup connections/solder cups. We will be happy to review your request and advise you on choosing the right option. Simply contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
Spring contacts with solder cup up to 15A
Coating of spring contacts
Spring contacts ensure reliable transmission of signals and currents in electronic devices. To meet the needs of specific applications, we offer a wide range of materials for manufacturing spring contacts. By default, the plunger and barrel are made of brass, while the spring is made of stainless steel. Alternatively, however, beryllium copper, phosphor bronze and SK4 steel are also available for the production of pistons, while beryllium copper and phosphor bronze can also be used for the pin sleeve.
To ensure optimal electrical conductivity and a high level of protection against corrosion and oxidation, our spring contacts are coated with gold. The pen sleeve and the piston are usually coated twice - first with nickel 1-2μm and then with gold 0,1-1μm.
We also offer partial coatings individual components as well as other precious metal coatings to meet your specific requirements. Contact us for more information and to find a tailor-made solution for your application.
Comparison of individual coatings
| Coating | Hardness (HV) | function (color) |
| Gold | 200 | low resistance (gold) |
| Great AP | 400 | highest corrosion resistance, low electrical resistance (silver) |
| Nickel | 150 – 200 | Corrosion resistance / comp. cheap (silver) |
| Palladium Nickel | 330 – 380 | Improved signal transmission (silver) |
| brass | 600 | Alternative to nickel (silver) |
| palladium cobalt | 450 – 600 | Alternative to palladium-nickel (silver) |

Waterproof connectors with spring contacts
Several spring contacts, also of different working heights, are combined in a plastic housing to form a customer-specific connector. As a common method, the pressing of the individual contacts with the plastic housing achieves a IP54 tightness.
For more demanding installation situations in which higher protection classes of IPx7 and higher are required, we offer various connector designs. Pins can come with O-ring seals supplemented or directly with plastic overmoulded and/or with elastomeric materials sealed become. Due to the overmolding, the connector can individual shape and integrate sockets and plug-in devices. This reduces assembly time and assembly costs.
Our waterproof connectors are used in outdoor mobile tracking and navigation devices as well as in medical technology and industry. Please note that the protection class achieved always depends on the installation situation. We would be happy to advise you in detail on this topic.
Magnetic connectors
Also we offer the design and manufacturing magnetic connectors with cable assembly. A magnetic connector consists of spring contact pins and a magnetic connection system that enables a shock and vibration resistant and self-aligning connection. The spring contacts not only allow the transmission of charging current, but also of all kinds of signals. Learn more about magnetic connectors and their benefits:
