RG-1002 12V DIP Pogo Pins with 1A, 2A and 3A Options

RG-1002 is a DIP pogo pins developed for compact power and electrical contact connections. The series is available in 1A, 2A and 3A current specifications, with DC 12V rated voltage.

The standard structure uses a Ø1.00 mm plunger and a PCB through-hole terminal. At the specified 1.0 mm working stroke, contact force is 90g±20g. Full mechanical stroke is 1.4 mm.

RG-1002 is intended for products that need a small spring-loaded contact with repeated compression, including consumer electronics, smart home products, portable devices and industrial equipment.

The contact surface is gold plated, while material and coating requirements follow RoHS and REACH specifications. Dimensions and contact configurations can also be adjusted for non-standard projects based on the customer's drawing.

RG-1002 technical specifications

1A, 2A and 3A current options

RG-1002 is available in 1A, 2A and 3A specifications. The maximum rated current shown on the engineering drawing is 3A at DC 12V.

This makes it easier to select the current specification according to the actual electrical load instead of using the same contact design for every project.

For a low-current signal or auxiliary power contact, the 1A or 2A configuration may be sufficient. Applications requiring more current can use the 3A version after the complete connector assembly has been checked under the actual operating conditions.

Current selection should also consider PCB layout, contact compression, operating temperature and the mating surface used in the finished product.

Ø1.0 mm spring contact for compact assemblies

The moving contact of RG-1002 has a diameter of 1.00 mm. The barrel diameter is 1.48 mm, with a 1.80 mm flange used as part of the mechanical positioning structure.

The DIP terminal has a diameter of 0.60±0.02 mm and is intended for through-hole PCB installation.

These dimensions make RG-1002 suitable for layouts where the spring contact needs to occupy limited PCB and housing space. The final PCB hole, installation depth and surrounding clearance should follow the approved product drawing.

For products with a different mechanical envelope, the dimensions can be adjusted as a non-standard pogo pin rather than changing the customer's enclosure around an unsuitable standard part.

Working stroke and contact force

The specified working stroke is 1.0 mm.

At this position, spring force is 90g±20g. The maximum mechanical stroke is 1.4 mm.

For normal assembly, the pogo pin should operate around the specified working compression rather than being held continuously at full stroke. This gives the spring contact enough movement to accommodate small mating-height tolerances while avoiding unnecessary mechanical loading.

The mating surface should also be aligned with the plunger axis. Side loading can interfere with smooth spring movement and may reduce contact stability over repeated cycles.

Electrical contact performance

RG-1002 has a maximum spring-pin contact resistance of 50 mΩ under its specified product conditions.

Stable electrical performance depends on both the pogo pin and the finished mating structure. Contact compression, surface cleanliness, PCB layout and the condition of the mating pad can all affect the resistance measured in the final assembly.

For this reason, the 3A specification should be verified in the customer's completed device when the product operates continuously near its rated current.

The page should use 50 mΩ Max. consistently. The previous ≤10mΩ value should be removed so that customers and search engines do not receive two different specifications for the same RG-1002 model.

50,000-cycle mechanical life

The engineering drawing specifies a life test of 50,000 cycles.

This figure should replace the old 100,000-cycle statement on the existing page.

Mechanical life in the finished product can still be influenced by compression depth, mating alignment, contamination and operating conditions. The 50,000-cycle specification therefore needs to remain tied to the RG-1002 test conditions rather than being presented as a general value for every customized version.

For applications with a different cycle requirement, the spring structure and test conditions can be reviewed during customization.

Drip-resistant design

RG-1002 can be used where protection against dripping water is required.

This page should describe the product as drip-resistant, not IP67 or IP68, because no IP rating is shown in the current engineering drawing.

Water protection in the finished device also depends on how the pogo pin is installed in the customer's PCB, housing and sealing structure. If a project requires a defined IP rating, the complete assembly should be evaluated and tested separately.

This wording is more accurate than using a broad waterproof pogo pin claim without a verified IP test condition.

Temperature and corrosion resistance

RG-1002 is specified for operation from -25°C to +60°C.

The drawing also specifies a 48-hour salt spray test. This provides a clear environmental reference for projects where the contact may be exposed to humidity or corrosive conditions during use or storage.

Materials and surface coating are specified to conform to RoHS and REACH requirements.

These environmental parameters should stay in the RG-1002 specification table because they belong to the actual drawing, rather than being mixed with general factory capabilities.

Applications for RG-1002

RG-1002 is best suited to compact products that need repeated spring-loaded power or electrical contact.

The correct current version should be selected according to the device load. Mechanical installation should then be checked against the 1.0 mm working stroke, available housing space and PCB structure.

This section intentionally stays close to RG-1002. It does not need to expand into automotive, aerospace, medical, robotics and every other industry unless those applications are backed by an actual project or product specification.

Information required for engineering evaluation

For a new RG-1002 project, the most useful information is the required current version, DC voltage, available PCB and housing space, mating height, required working stroke, expected mating life, operating temperature and order quantity.

If the product is still at the prototype stage, a dimensional sketch or sample is enough for the first review. A final production drawing can be confirmed after the main electrical and mechanical conditions are agreed.

Quality verification

RG-1002 production should follow the approved engineering drawing.

The drawing defines a 1.0 mm working stroke, 90g±20g contact force, 50 mΩ maximum contact resistance, 50,000-cycle life test, -25°C to +60°C operating temperature and 48-hour salt spray requirement.

For a modified version, the inspection standard should be updated together with the drawing. This keeps the test result tied to the actual part being supplied instead of applying RG-1002 data to every customized pogo pin.

FAQ

What current versions are available for RG-1002?

RG-1002 is available in 1A, 2A and 3A specifications. The engineering drawing shows a maximum rated current of 3A at DC 12V. The current option should be selected according to the electrical load of the finished device.

What are the working stroke and spring force of RG-1002?

The specified working stroke is 1.0 mm. Contact force at this position is 90g±20g. Full mechanical stroke is 1.4 mm.

Is RG-1002 waterproof?

RG-1002 should be described as drip-resistant based on the current product requirement. It should not be advertised as IP67 or IP68 unless the complete connector or device has passed the corresponding IP test.

Can RG-1002 be customized from my drawing?

Yes. Dimensions, current specification, stroke, spring force, terminal structure, material and plating can be evaluated from a customer's drawing, PCB layout or sample. If the project requires several contacts, a non-standard pogo pin connector can also be developed around the device structure.
