Hi,

I am trying to get hold of pogo pins with cupped heads that will fit the bottom of the GPIO pins of a Raspberry Pi. Ideally like the ones one this board: https://thepihut.com/products/pcie-slot-for-raspberry-pi-5-p02?variant=43225854410947

I've searched all over the web and there are loads of pogo pins for DIP boards with rounded heads but none with cupped heads. I need the pins to spring down to under 10mm, ideally a spring range around 6-12mm would be perfect.

The closest I found was this: https://www.uugear.com/product/cupped-head-pogo-pin-for-big7-usb-hub/
But you also need the tubular holder to attach to the board.

Can anyone help me find where these exist. Would really appreciate it! Thanks.

 

I've found these pogo pins to be quite useful: Smiths Interconnect

I usually get them thru Mouser.

I believe the "concave" style is what you seek.

 

Thanks for your reply. I found most of these to be a bit too long and not sure if they will fit the DIP form factor, However your tip about searching for "concave" worked a treat. Found these on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001860551417.html

Exactky what I need. Many thanks.
