What is a pogo jig? It's a tool to make electronic prototypes. Read more about this pogo project https://medium.com/@hlchlc/take-your-pogo-jig-to-the-next-level-c016b483d6fc#.6s2gyaqf8 We are sharing 3 elements towards a successful pogo pin jig. A needle pogo pin A pogo pin tolerance A rim for pogo insertion clearance How to use this model: A. Place the pogo pin model and the tolerance in your design B. Align them concentrically and flushed to the bottom of the pogo pin. C. Make a pogo support volume, positioned right below the head of the pogo pin D. Place 2 rims on both sides of the pogo support E. Use the rim and pogo pin tolerance to carve out the pogo support volume There, you just made a holder to place a pogo pin. We included the rims in the design because sometimes, the printer can smear on the pogo pin entry points. When that happens, the smear obstructs insertion. The rims are needed on both sides of the pogo support, providing a smooth entry. For clarification, there are 2 additional elements for reference (not for printing). I. Pogo bed with a via II. Pogo support Your pogo bed board may be thicker or thinner (Ours is 1.8mm). In that case, make sure the bottom of pogo bed aligns with the bottom of the pogo pins, and more importantly, adjust/scale the vias. We'd love to know how you make your own pogo jigs. Don't hesitate to leave us a comment when you did!
