Test Equipment / Re: Help me chose my pogo pin for THM Test Points on my PCB plz
« Last post by Kean on Today at 10:57:54 am »Pogo pins are not normally used with that style of test point. You are generally better off probing without a through hole test point, onto a bare SMT pad or maybe an open through hole pad.
There are various head designs like the crown point that can help probe a non-flat surface.
That style of test point are not so commonly used these days, except in R&D. You would normally use a hook type test clip with them, like seen in the photo at top right.
Are you planning to use pogo pins from above or below the PCB?
If you were probing from above, you might be able to use a large concave (inverted cone) head pogo, like a P25-A2 or P100-A2.
If probing from below, it would depend on how much the particular style of test points used protrude from the PCB surface.
