Battery pogo connector temperature rating
(1/1)
hcglitte:
Hi,
I'm going to use a pogo connector, originally intended as a battery connector, for connectivity between 2 boards.
The specs state it works down to -20 C.
In my design it must work down to -40 C.
I'm curious if the specs only says -20 C because batteries normally only operate down to this temperature. And that they don't care to test it below this level because its expensive to test, and not needed.
It's a rather simple part consisting of plastic and metal. I guess the plastic could crack at low temperatures perhaps?
Any experience here, anyone?

Maybe the pogo springs stop flexing at -21c ?

It's Bc‐11‐4pd in attached file.
So it's spring contacts. Not sure about the flex properties.
But a freeze spray may find this out.
