Product Overview
3mm spring test probes (pogo pins) are spring-loaded contact pins with 3mm barrel diameter, built for heavy-current and high-load testing. Featuring plunger, barrel and internal compression spring, they deliver stable and consistent contact force under compression, creating reliable temporary electrical connection. Nickel-gold plating brings low contact resistance and anti-oxidation performance. Widely used in power module testing, battery inspection, large PCB, automotive electronics and industrial test jigs.
Key Features
- 3mm barrel diameter, heavy-duty design: Supports higher rated current compared with fine-pitch small probes
- Built-in compression spring: Compensates height tolerance of test points, maintains stable contact force
- Nickel underlayer + gold plating: Low contact resistance, anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation
- Multiple tip styles available: Conical, crown, dome, chisel tip for different test pads
- Robust structure: Long service life for repeated compression cycles
- Customizable: Stroke, spring force, tip profile and total length on request
