As modern devices become smaller but need to deliver more power, their connectors face new challenges. Traditional pogo pins often cannot carry high current without heat buildup or power loss. Same Sky’s Interconnect Group has launched new pogo pin models rated from 7 to 25 amps to solve this problem in compact and power-hungry systems.

These pogo pins are used in test equipment, battery charging systems, and communication devices where steady power flow and long contact life are important. By handling higher currents in a small form factor, they help engineers design smaller boards without sacrificing electrical performance.

Same Sky’s Interconnect Group announces new CPG series pogo pins that uses gold-plated contacts to reduce electrical resistance and prevent corrosion. This helps maintain a stable connection over time. Each pin is designed for up to 100,000 mating cycles, making it suitable for products that need repeated connection and disconnection during testing or operation.

Each pin operates at 12 volts DC and uses mid-compression forces of 100 to 260 gram-force. This ensures the right balance between mechanical strength and electrical contact pressure. The working height ranges from 3.6 to 9.9 millimetres, allowing flexibility in board layouts and stack heights.

The pins come in both surface-mount and through-hole versions, so they can fit easily into automated or manual assembly lines. They also operate across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, which means they can be used in devices exposed to outdoor or industrial conditions.
