A Pogo Pin or Spring-loaded Pin is a type of electrical connector mechanism that is used in many modern electronic applications and in the electronics testing industry. They are used for their improved durability over other electrical contacts, and the resilience of their electrical connection to mechanical shock and vibration. Pogo pins can be used to make Test Jigs for electrical testing the short and open after PCB manufacturing, and PCB assembly in/after PCB assembly.
