Abstract:
1. A press-contact pogo pin connector comprising: a molded insulating housing having a cylinder hole with a front opening of the cylinder hole provided on a front side of the housing; a pin that includes a flange portion at a rear end thereof and is installed inside the cylinder hole; a coil spring that is installed inside the cylinder hole and urges the pin so that the pin protrudes from the housing; and a contact that includes a substrate connection terminal portion and a contact spring portion and is secured to the housing, the substrate connection terminal portion and the contact spring portion being integrally provided, the contact spring portion extending inside the cylinder hole and being brought into press-contact with the pin at all times, wherein the flange portion of the pin urged by the coil spring abuts against a peripheral portion of the front opening of the cylinder hole so that the pin is prevented from falling off; and wherein the pin includes a main pin body formed by bending a metal strip into a U-shape with two parallel portions and the flange portion that is integrally formed on each side end edge of each of the two parallel portions so as to protrude therefrom.
