The Role of Plating on POGO PIN Connectors The plating on POGO PIN connectors plays a vital role in ensuring their performance and prolonging their service life.

The following are the main functions of the plating layer:

 1. Anti-corrosion function - The plating layer can effectively prevent the POGO PIN connector from being vulcanised and oxidised in the working environment, thus avoiding corrosion. This not only protects the connector itself, but also improves its resistance to wear and durability, allowing the connector to extend its service life.

2. Improved Mechanical Properties - The electroplating layer enhances the wear resistance, mating force and ductility of POGO PIN connectors. This makes the mechanical properties of the connector more stable, ensuring its reliability and stability in various applications.

3. Improved performance - Depending on the nature of the material and the specific use of the POGO PIN connector, the plating can optimise its performance. For example, for applications requiring high electrical conductivity, gold plating is often chosen, as gold has better electrical conductivity at room temperature.

4. Other features - Plating can also improve the connector's appearance, making it more attractive. In addition, for some products that come into direct contact with the skin (e.g., smart bracelets, Bluetooth headsets), the plating layer also prevents corrosion from perspiration and reduces skin irritation.

In summary, the plating layer of POGO PIN connectors significantly improves the overall performance and reliability of the connectors by preventing corrosion, enhancing mechanical properties, optimising workability and other additional features.
